I was trying to change out a tire and was having a hard time getting a good jack point after some trying I may have accidentally jumped it under front right front suspension point and jacked up from there.welk it worked but now after change wheel will not rotate or spin it's just stuck.what did I mess up ? Cheapest easiest fix? The Toyota is super thin and got a thicker replacement from junkyard but could not get the 18 mm bolt off holding on caliper so gave up

OK reading this I have questions. You changed out a tire with a spare or with another Caravan wheel? What is the Toyota you speak of? You say it won't turn, I take it you mean it won't rotate? Could you take a picture of the area you jacked on? There are few reasons this could happen and the answers might point at the problem.

Jacking there at the arrow isn't a big issue. What is the reason for the rotor change? Has this van been setting a while and the rotors have rusted? That could cause the wheel not to turn.
