I started the project taking out the trans to replace the clutch, but it led to rebuilding the front end also. So here's the question, I replaced everything on the drivers side, bearings, rotor and mounted the hub to the shaft and torqued the nut. The the rotor spins freely by hand. I reinstalled the auto locking hub and now the rotor doesn't even spin by hand, have to spin it with a pry bar between the studs. Removed the locking hub again and it spins freely? Is this normal? The pass side has not been disassembled yet and it spins free by hand? The trans is out and no drive shafts are installed either. Is there some thing still engaged in the diff, that's not allowing the drivers side to spin freely? I'm stumped here, its been awhile since I worked on 4x4's. Thanks for the help!

 

DId you put the lock washer between the two hub nuts? Maybe you torqued the second one down too much. It should spin by hand.
