Rear caliper

I did the brakes, all four, on my 1990 lumina, and now the left rear is binding. This is ticking me off, I do something on this car that took forever (I didn't know about the tooll you needed to use) and am wondering if there is a way to adjust it myself without a new caliper? (Payday is saturday, don't know if I have enough brakes to drive until then, car is a delivery vehicle) THe other side is fine,. not showing any wear yet, and the fronts are fine. thanks!

Make sure the e-brake cable isn't stuck, the pads are properly seated in the caliper, and the caliper moves freely on it's hardware....

I have no clue how to do any of that lol? Its the front pad (outside) that keeps weraing to nothing. I just took the wheel off, and its about to grind (one rivet it grinding now) I think the e brake is stuck because I didn't see any difference in spacing with it on and off.

It could also be the rubber brake hose leads to the caliper which needs replacing... it loses rigidity and the brake fluid will not move properly with a weak hose. At least that's what happened with my '91.

make sure brake hose isnt twisted, slide move freely, try breaking bleeder open to see if this releases caliper...if so the brake hose likely culprit...
