Hub question
Hi, yet another stupid question.
So, I'm going to rehab or replace my cv's (got a loud clicking in 1st & 2nd) and will do some other while-I've got it up stuff. I'm planning on brake lines and fluid, and noticed something. My psngr side hub spins easily, but there is a ton more force required to move the driver's side. Pkg brake off, not in gear. Is this from the caliper sticking probably? Thanks

It could be due to a sticky caliper or parking brake. The p-brake shoes are inside the rotor hub. It would be a good idea to inspect them "whilst you are in there." Plan on using an impact screwdriver to get the set screws out.
Adjust them so that the brake cable pulls both sides evenly. I would check the brake pads for even/abnormal wear as well. Replace as necessary. Post pics if you aren;t sure about the condition.
