found with mine because of lack of use,(no load) in the back, that the calliper pistons will tend to freeze in the out position and not want to relax. Each time you apply pressure they will engage but fail to relax. either replace the callipers, or if you are handy enough you can get a rebuild kit and drill hone and slightly hone the bore and clean the piston with break fluid and a piece of plumbers emery cloth. BE VERY CAREFUL!! take too much and you are getting the new callipers. this takes time and may require an air source to work the piston back out of the calliper cyl. should slide freely at an even pressure in and out. any checking or off center drag will cause a bind.
also be sure to soak the bleeders allot if you have aluminum callipers because they don't free up that easily. and if you break those off everything is for nothing. no way to bleed them when you get them back on.
To keep it from happening in the future try to give the back a little exercise every once in a while. (by no way telling you to do anything illegal or dangerous). sometimes they just need to get a load on!!
Hope this helps
