brake dragging problem
Hey guys. Long time reader first time poster here.
Iv got a 04 g35x and last week a caliper froze up messing up my inside brake pad and the rotor. Iv replaced the calipers on both rear wheels, the rotors, the pads, and the rubber hoses. But the rear brakes still drag up on the rear. They dont grip hard just hard enough its hard to move by hand, but once thw brakes warm up they really start to grip on test drives. If I take off the calipers they spin freely so its not the drums. If I pump it a few times and crack the blender they don't squirt out a bunch of fluid, maybe a drop or two. Slide guides move freely and easily. When depressing the caliper cylinder there is a small amount of force it seems to take then it moves fairly easy inward.
I'm at a complete loss here. It seems its just dragging a tiny bit and then they start to expand and drag more. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Edit. Only the rear passenger caliper was originally froze up. The driver side brake pads looked new. Now the driver side is the side that gets the hottest
The driver side rear is always hotter

Bleeds easy and to the floor with a steady stream. Turn the motor by hand? What do you mean? I don't think I could turn any v6 engine over by hand.
