Dragging rear brakes has two possible causes:
* Hydraulic problems
* Mechanical problems

The usual hydro problem is the Residual Valve thing in the disc/drum master cylinder.
Less often:
* brake lines next to the exhaust system
* collapsed flex hose
* sticking Master Cylinder piston (not returning fully)
* Master Cylinder over-full
* Proportioning valve sticking
* Master Cylinder free-play incorrectly adjusted
* Brake Booster push-rod incorrectly adjusted

Mechanical problems include:
* parking brake adjusted incorrectly, even with no cable hooked up this can cause dragging
* Caliper piston sticking
* Caliper sliding surfaces binding
* Bent or misaligned caliper or caliper bracket
* Dry wheel bearings

Something to do with the hydraulic handbrake master cylinder? A pressure residual valve in that?
