Help, driverside axle doesn't want to spin

I replaced the seals on my front axle last night, the passenger side spins freely, along with the driveshaft. I finished the driver side later on and now it hangs up at a certain point. Like it has a bump or something to overcome. The hub spins freely but the axle doesn't want to spin now.

Seal retainer correctly seated??

Remove the drive flange. Is there any free play to be felt in<->out, when pulling at the stub shaft? If so, is it consistent all around 360º?

I'm lost...so if both wheels are off the ground and you spin the drive shaft the front wheels will not turn?

Both wheels should turn freely with out the hub cap on. Sorry for the wording

I did one side at a time. The passenger side is done, rolls smooth. The drivers side gets to a point and stops, like something is catching in the tube.
