Default New help ASAP!

Just installed my 15mm spacers on all corners, and also added SPC lower camber arms and toe bolts in the rear (had installed Swift springs a few weeks back). For the spacer install, I used the DIY method, and drove the old lugs out with a 5lb hammer. No problems, all went smooth.

I noticed when I was putting everything back together that the passenger rear wheel was very hard to rotate. With the parking brake off, parking brake adjuster nearly all the way down, and the car out of gear, I still had trouble turning the tire by hand. I put the car back down on the ground, and pulled it back and forth in the garage. Far too much throttle to move it, so I parked it and left it for the night. I thought I could also hear a mild grinding, but I attributed that to the parking brake being misadjusted (?).

I pulled the wheel this morning, then the brake caliper and rotor. Everything came off without issue, but that axle cannot be turned by hand. I raised the other side, and it turns just fine.

On another, related, note, I noticed when I mounted the brake caliper again that the rotor was not centered. It was touching the outside inner edge of the caliper when fully mounted. I double checked and the washers are both where they are supposed to be. I know that issues isn't what's keeping the axle from turning, but it's just compounding my quandry.

Anyone have this issue after installing spacers?? I can't imagine I damaged the axle just driving out the old lugs? None gave me an issue where I had to overly strike them.

Any advise would be appreciated. I'm not really prepared to pull an axle (never done it on this car), and will most likely tow it to the dealer if it comes to that.

Thanks.
