Rear Caliper Help

right rear caliper seems to be dragging. After a drive I can smell my brakes and the right rear is hotter than others. Also I can hear it more when rolling the car when its off. New caliper? Where to start?

whens the last time you did a brake job? Pins can be bad, need some grease (always grease). IF not then the caliper can be sticking.

Check the ebrake mechanism. They're known to stick when you set it. I couldn't come up with a reliable way to get mine working again for good so I replaced the calipers.
