please move if this is not the right forum....

im doing a 5 lug rear swap for my s14. im using J30 assembly to do this. anyway i have everything bolted up except for the rotors and calipers. now here comes the problem.

the hub wont spin... its stuck like the hand brake is up, but i dont even have that connected. im not sure wtf is going on but when i loosen the axle nut im able to turn the hub.

im not sure if im missing some parts but before i did this swap the J30 assembly is a direct bolt on and i didnt have to change the axles.

please help before i decide to burn this car

Hhhhmmmmmmmm.Is the car in gear?Did you compare the stock axles to the J30 set? I have heard stories about metal axle seals binding on the hub if certain axles are used with certain hubs. Wish I could be more specific but just some more info I came across in passing.Assuming the car is not in gear, assemble everything to spec, get your noggin in there and check for obvious and not so obvious binding.
