Sounds like the caliper stuck. Be sure that the pins are clean and lube them w/ caliper grease that usually comes w/ new pads.

I would concur, make sure the caliper is able to freely move....
Do you regularly use your parking brake?

I will check that along with the boots seals.no I don't use the parking brake much.

As far as I know regular use of the parking brake keeps the rears adjusted, and you'd be surprised at just how small the parking sprag is that holds the vehicle in place.
