Default Wheel has slight drag

I replaced the 11 year old tires not a moment too soon. There was a slight bulge and crack developing on the sidewall.

Put on new ST225/75R15 GoodYear Endurance 10 Ply with a max load capability of 80 PSI. We filled to 65 PSI.

Got the hubs greased. Grease nozzle fit the zerk pretty loosely but grease seemed to go in pretty well. Had a hard time taking grease nozzle off when done. Anyone else experience this?

But the right wheel has a slight drag in one spot when we spin it when jacked up. Am wondering if the brake or bearings could be the problem. Or something else?

Suggestions?

Sounds like a high rust spot on the drum. Or the drum is out of round.

Did you adjust the brakes when replacing the tires? If so, in addition to the above possibilities already mentioned, there could be an uneven spot on a brake pad that needs to wear down (which should happen within several miles).

I didn’t adjust the brakes. I should figure out how to do that. Any pointers?

As far as the grease gun not wanting to come off try this..The tip of the grease gun where the grease comes out, turn it counterclockwise it will loosedn up the fitting, I think you can even find youtube videos on this.
