Hi there,

With the brake dragging, crack the bleeder to see if it backs off, this will show us if it is a mechanical or hydraulic problem, start here.

If it is still dragging with no hydraulic pressure it will be a mechanical fault with the caliper, the caliper will have to be inspected for a fault a stuck piston or stuck slides if a single piston caliper.
