"I can rotate the wheel" - Is this after lowering again? It could be as Ian said - handbrake applying as vehicle raised? Are you jacking under axle tube or body? Can you see handbrake cable straining as the jack is raised higher?

Everything is clear so far as the jack is concerned. I can rotate the wheel (slowly but evenly) with the tyre just clear of the ground so I don't think ovalisation could be the cause. Thanks for your response. -----Original Message----- From: Susan and Martin Scott <[email protected]> To: quantumowners <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, 28 Sep 2017 10:28 Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Suggestions welcomed Is the jack pinching the handbrake cable (or worse still the hydraulic flexi pipe)? Unlikely to be, but just raising it further (from before) could put more force on. Have you tried lowering it to the where it was at first to see if it frees up again? How far was the wheel rotated? Is the drum ovalised and has now reached a tight spot? Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: 'Michael Hughes' via Quantum Owners Group To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2017 8:22 PM Subject: [Quantum Owners] Suggestions welcomed I jacked up a FWD car which was on a SORN and had not been moved for a while. With the undriven rear wheel just off the ground I could rotate it slowly by hand. Wanting to take a closer look I jacked the car higher (to get a block or axle stand underneath) but found that the wheel was now impossible to turn. As far as I know everything is in order with the suspension etc so the wheel is not jammed against a wheel arch. Any suggestions on what is wrong, and how to correct it will be very welcome.
