I'm thinking that too. The wheel would not turn very easily when I ran the car up on the lift. Took off the tire and started to remove the caliper. It was a bit tight, but came off with just a bit of prying it open. The rotor/drum did come off fairly easy, just a bit of wiggling.

The car did just have the front end rebuilt and the calipers would have been taken off. Do I need to do a brake bleed to equalize the system? Or do I have a problem with the ABS? At slow speed I do have a pulsing sensation and just now remembered the photo of a damaged ABS sensor on someone else posted during their DYI repair.

Really want to take a trip Monday with the car but don't want to do any additional damage. It will be around 700 miles. Guess today I will head out on the 4 lane and bring it up to road speed for several miles slow down without touching the brakes and check the rotors. Hope I can find someone with an infrared thermometer.
