Front wheels difficult to spin by hand.
Did an oil change yesterday and while the car was in the air noticed that both front wheels are very difficult to spin by hand. Calipers may be locked up or brake shoe's are rubbing. Checked the brake fluid reservoir and sure enough it was over filled by the service department when doing an annual brake fluid change last month. By chance I removed the extra fluid from the brake reservoir and took the vette for a spirited spin, activated the antilock feature a couple of times. The brakes now work fine and calipers are now released to let the front wheels spin freely again. Just wanted to share in case this has happened to any one else.
