but...... you might just wanna take it all apart and re-do it all and make sure everything is straight and true and also make sure that you are using all the correct parts with the correct part numbers and all that.

Sounds like your rear caliper might be seized, it's a common problem with EP3's. I had a similar problem and only replacing the caliper fixed it.

If it is dragging, the slide may be seized or it may be the piston itself not returning like its supposed to.
Getting a new caliper is probably the only sure way to fix it.
Disassemble it all, make sure you got it all right. If it still drags, replace the caliper.
