Default brakes sticking front seabring

just bled the brakes and now front right brakes are engaged when brake pedal is not getting pushed. Front wheel is not turning freely and makes a rubbing sound when driving. Ideas how to fix????

pushing the brake pedal gets the brakes to activate but nothing pushes the brake pads off the rotor when the brake pedal is not getting pushed; s the brake pads stay engaged even when not using the brakes.

I had the same problem on a minivan several years ago; turned out to be a bad brake hose. Could also be a problem with the caliper: corroded slide pins. I would suspect the caliper first.

Brake pads always are in some contact with the disk but, if you can't turn the wheel freely (there should be some resistance and drag which is normal!) you may have the caliper a little twisted when you torqued it back in place... Or the pad itself is not seated in the caliper correctly.. Better to take the wheel off and carefully inspect it.. Make sure the pads are on in the right order!
