Good evening,

You will need to remove the wheel and inspect the brakes and see if anything came apart.

There is an emergency brake set up inside the rotor and that could be the issue.

Let me know what you find. I attached the procedure and a picture for you to view.

Removal Procedure

Tools Required
J41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit

4. Mark the relationship of the rotor to the hub.
5. Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts.

Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from it's mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.

6. Remove the brake caliper and brake caliper bracket as an assembly and support with heavy mechanic's wire or equivalent. Do not disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
7. Remove the rotor retaining push nuts from the wheel studs, if applicable.
8. It may be necessary to strike the end of the hub or the rotor with a deadblow hammer to separate the rotor from the hub.
9. Remove the rotor by slowly fuming the rotor while pulling the rotor away from the axle.
