If you spin the hub, it should stop in about a quarter turn. If it takes so much effort that you cannot spin the rotor by the wheel stud and if the rotor stops immediately, then the brakes are dragging.

Earlier today I had to apply a fair amount of pressure to be able to spin the wheel, it made a horrible metallic noise and it would not move at all after letting go. I guess calipers are toast too, *&#$ %#. Now I have to figure out the when and where am I going to do this.
Thank you.
