    You're welcome, Josh. There is always a possibility that you got an incorrect part... that's not unheard of. I hope you find out what the problem is without too much more work. Good luck!

    For anyone interested, I revisited this. I took the wheel off, sanded the paint off the “rotor” and then sanded some corrosion off the the pads. After that I reassembled. It spun freely better than the wheel that I didn’t have an issue with so I gave the other side the same treatment.
