I was going to suggest a wheel bearing as well
Caliper cleanup and paint prep.

FML. As I looked at the caliper before prepping it, there was the slightest tear in the boot on the piston as I pushed the piston back...

I believe on all the modern cars, the wheel bearings are built into the hub. So you would have to get a new hub assembly for the rear and swap it out is all. not too tough a job. I had to do 3 of them on my 04 stratus. If they're not built in, just press out the old bearing, lube up the new one and press it back in. Hook everything up, good to go. Assuming that's what is wrong of course

Does a wheel bearing help the wheel turn smoothly? Like on skateboard bearings?

Don’t judge my lack on knowledge. I know a good bit about cars but when it comes to wheels and tires I’m a dunce

Used a program called inkscape to create some custom decals and uploaded them to gran turismo sport. #illest#fatlace. They aren't the best, but considering I'm just learning and there's a 15kb limit port decal they came out good I thought...pics later, lol
You're good. We've all been there. Nobody passing judgment.
First-timer on a lot of things. Today was the caliper rebuild. Turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it would be. Hey look, this looks a lot like our caliper assembly. Put it together and wham, you're an "expert".

You could add an octane booster if they have it to offset, but if not you should be ok temporarily

All of the brakes have been reinstalled, new pads, rotors, brake lines, rear sway bar installed. Now, time to bleed them brakes.
