1999 V70 XC New Pads & Rotors grinding when turning

[PapaHepcat]

I greased one of the calipers the other day. Haven't had time to do much else after work. The caliper wouldn't budge before greasing. Now it moves pretty freely. I still have other stuff to work on, so I haven't put it back together yet.

With the tire off and rotor on, everything spun freely, even at full lock both directions.

How should I check for play in the hub? And I remember I inadvertently removed the axle bolt before, but I think I put it back on before removing the old rotor, etc. Would that cause anything?

Play in the hub bearing should be none (none that you can detect without a dial indicator). If you have the caliper off, you could try wiggling the rotor with your hands at 9 and 3 o'clock, and then at 12 and 6 o'clock. If you can feel or hear some play, then the hub bearing has already become noisy enough to draw your attention in curves.
The axle bolts are one-time use only, they are torque-to-yield and should not be re-used (per VIDA). You need not have to remove them unless you are pulling the axle out of the hub.
I am assuming you greased the caliper 'fingers' where they make contact with the bracket. Inspect those surfaces, they should be smooth without burrs. If there are some, the caliper may not retract correctly or even get jammed.
VIDA does not recommend lubricating the caliper pins but I like to clean them nicely and then put some small amount of brake grease on them.

Well, this is embarrassing. But for the sake of posterity, I'll admit it: I replaced my tie rods at the same time, and had them switched. Geez.

Drives great now!
