Default Need help my wheel is sticking :O(

Hi all, my catalunya failed the mot on the ns front wheel not turning freely the mot bloke said it must be a sticky brake caliper. Today i took the caliper off and gave it a good clean up and refitted it but it's still sticking a bit but not a lot. so i took it back of and removed the brake pads and refitted the wheel and gave it another turn and the wheel is still not running as free as the os wheel? there is no play in the wheel bearing so i need your help on this one please.
Cheers,
Brian.

It feels just the same with both wheels of the ground, it realy is not that bad its just a little bit stiffer to turn than the other wheel. It might just be the mot bloke being extra fussy!

There 2 diffs inside the box mate, think he is being awkward as it will have a lot of drag on it
