It requires significant force to turn the hub. It's possible to turn it without a pry bar, but I'm a pretty strong 6'3" dude and I have to really try to do it. The hub will not coast at all when spun.
The pads might "drag" a tiny bit, but I don't think they should be clamped down hard enough to prevent the rotor fom spinning like this.
I'm hoping the alignment fix will correct the wobble. If not I'll get a new steering stabilizer, but I think that might just mask the real problem.
