    ive cleaned everything....still cant figure it out...it seems that its just slightly grabbing...not much...but enough to where when i spin the wheel it doesnt free spin, it slows to a halt rather quickly...

      Remember, the rear wheel won't turn easily or long because of the drag from the gears; you're turning the FD, MD, and some of the trans. Is there any noticable difference in 'drag' with the caliper off? Hearing a bit of brake drag is normal...
