I brought my rear wheel to a bike shop to have new bearings installed because I didn't have the necessary tools. When I arrived at the shop to pick it up the axle turned very rough but not as bad as it did with the old bearings - shop told me it was because they were cheap bearings.
I went home and put the wheel on the bike and now the wheel would not turn (freewheel) without the pedals also turning.
I purchased the tools needed and after much grief figured out there was too much force on the non-drive side bearing. Once I corrected this the axle now turned smoothly.
To stop the pedals from turning while the wheel was freewheeling, I took the lockring off and reinstalled it in the correct position (it was installed backwards) then I replaced the hub seal with a new one and it solved this problem.
I can now ride my bike with an axle that turns smoothly!
