Well, That's what the problem was. Pulled the caliper bracket off and cleaned & greased it up good and we're back in business! Thanks for all the help! This place rocks!

Well I did the same thing but my rear caliper still sticks when I use the rear pedal so next I will replace the rear MC and bleed the system again. It was worth a try and at least now I know that everything else on the caliper is good to go.

You may want to try removing both the front calipers first and cleaning and lubing those sliding pins too.
Also it's possible that by pushing the pistons back in, you may have pushed dirt past the seals. Try removing the rear caliper and pistons and take a small wood or plastic pick and clean out the area behind the seals as dirt in this area can cause then to stick too.

Thanks Larry the rear caliper has been completely rebuilt.

The front calipers could also be causing the rear to drag...
