Today i noticed my RHD YJ pulling to the left. On braking it pulled to the right. Tyres ok. So i jacked up the front end to find the passenger wheel was really hard to turn. I removed the wheel and it looked like a sticky caliper. This would on occasion explain the drivers front wheel locking up on hard braking?? After cleaning etc i re-assembled. Finding it nearly impossible to bleed the system. (Will retry tomorrow)
As i put the wheel back on and did up 1 nut (not too tight) i noticed that the wheel was starting to seize. I removed it to check that nothing was making contact and that i had assembled everything correctly, also checking that the caliper slid on those runners for brake compensation.
The wheel went on making sure that every nut was evenly tightened. Seized???
I have no idea. When it was off it is fine. Could it be a collapsed wheel bearing?
If anybody has any ideas i would be grateful.
