I'm just going to have me to freeze my lug nuts off ...

Is the bearing nut too tight?
It was loose and I only tightened it one notch ... the least amount possible .. and then loosened it and then hand tightened it. Am I missing something?

I spun the wheel and it rotates one turn ... not exactly freely.

I checked the break pads (1/4") and they are still good.
I pressed the pads away from the rotor to check if the caliper was frozen and both sides move.

I note that the lug nuts are stiff coming off. I use anti-seize so I am assuming it like the grease is stiff.

I hooked up my heat gun to heat up the bearing cap to try spinning again ... but the outside GFI keeps tripping. I brought the heat gun in and warmed it up, checked it operation ... and the outside GFI still trips.

Its 25 degrees here. I would not think that it is so cold as to interfere with the heat gun operation (?).
I'm warming up the extension cord now ... but I thought that cold wire was less resistant than hot wire.
