Open up a bleeder and see if it changes how easily the wheel rotates.

Then the problem is either a stuck caliper piston, or binding hardware, (guide pins etc).

Opening the bleeder takes the master cylinder and lines out of the equation. A stuck piston or binding hardware are the only possibilities.

Default dragging front and rear brakes

although the rear was not dragging as much as the front , I called a master mechanic I know ,told him the problem ,1st answer was front rubber hoses ,told him I replaced them ,his answer was master cylinder , Got a new unit bleared it and install dragging brakes fixed.
