Rear brake sticking - what did I miss?

[Pappy3]

2014 RT
First time changing the pads and tire.
Turned a lotta wrenches the last 50 years, so how hard could it be?
Watched a couple of videos and away we go.

Got the piston screwed in (just like my Honda sedan), pads in place, and torqued all the bolts.
Brake pedal pumped up ok, fluid level checked and good.
Short test ride went well.

Wife took it to work today. Upon returning home there's a horrible squeal from the rear brake.
Rotor and caliper are warmer than they should be.
Parking brake sets and releases ok.
WTH did I miss?!?!?

Didn’t mention cleaning dust off :dontknow: opcorn: previous pads had even wear? Do the new pads need to be “seated”? (Heating Procedure for some variation new pads) glad caught & aware, before something fails.

Remove brake pads first.

Clean everything up with some sort of Brake-clean.
I use an old toothbrush.

Clean and lube the pucks and slide pins that allow the brake to float.

I use red rubber grease.

Scroll down to the last diagram.

Make sure your brake cables aren't hanging up a little. Did you make any adjustments on the cable when you had it apart? Did you butter the back of the pads with anti-squeal paste? And sometimes it works well to put a little chamfer on the forward and leading edges of the pads with a file or grinder.

Nothing appears to be hanging up. I'll try the chamfer. No adjusemts made. Will dismantle tonvlean and lube.

Putting anti-seize on slide points can help. Have you spun the wheel to see how much drag you are getting? You'll always get a little bit. And it's harder to tell on the rear wheel because of the drive components. But it should still be pretty obvious. Beveling the leading edge may help with squeal, as will applying a brake quieting gel. But it won't do anything for a dragging pad set.

Hope you find the solution.

fluid level checked and good

When was the last brake fluid flush? (Shouldn't be more than 2 years.)

Did you use an entire 16oz bottle of fluid? (Anything less leaves old fluid in the brake system, especially with the big hoses from the reservoir.)
