My rear wheels get much more brake dust on them than the front and it had always bothered me even if i do alot of highway driving and hardly use the brakes the wheels are dusty by the time i get to my destination. Finally got around to putting it up on the jack today and rear wheels are difficult to turn in the air as opposed to the front....and i've also been hearing a dragging sound which seem to be coming from the brakes...so i think i found the problem...next is how can i attempt to adjust my e-brake or or brakes in general to take care of this?

Are both side sticking?

did you try to bleed the brakes?

I would take them off use the special tool to rotate the piston in some then put them back on try them out and see if it solves it.

You also might check to make sure your caliper pins are sliding in the bracket. I had that problem and it ate the pads quickly before I figured it out.
