You got it figured out

How does your guys brakes disengage? Can you spin the wheels and will they keep spinning or do they stop fairly quickly?

[PToombs]

They stop kinda quick. The caliper always drags a little, but the rotor should be free to turn.

i put 20 pounds of weight on one the studs and the rotor did not spin so im guessing it takes 25-30 pounds of weight to over come the drag of the pads on the rotor. idk if this helps explain how tight it is or not. I really dont want to buy calipers if i dont have have to

You should be able to put one finger on the sidewalll of your tire and spin it,if not the calipers are screwed.

[PToombs]

You should be able to put 2 fingers on the rotor and turn it. You may not want to, but the calipers are junk, so buy new ones!

Well i drove it some today and then jacked up to check again. seemed to be much better so im gonna stick with the ones i got for now. After i opened the bleeder the brakes feel better too. I guess maybe the pads needed some more breaking in. Thanks a lot guys! Im not trying to be a PTA. Money is tight right now so the less that needs fixin the better
