Default brake issue

my crx back passenger side brake is dragging, mostly when i turn left, if i'm going straight it doesnt do it as much and when i turn right it doesnt do it at all. its not dragging alot but just enough to be annoying. doesnt make any noise when i brake either.
anyone know whats the problem? i was just gonna take my caliper off and lubricate the guide pins, but i couldnt loosen the bolt. it was siezed. gonna buy a air rachet hopefully soon to take it apart without stripping the head of the bolt.
suggestions?

Are you sure its dragging and it might not be the backing plate or something else?

i would also check your wheel bearing, to me, i think that's where your problem might be...

bingo the hub is moving slightly, probably due to a bad bearing causing it to rub while going in one direction only. sounds like the culprit

thats because when you brake it relieves the bearing of the wieght and now your hub is actualy floating...
