Brakes dragging. My e brake is hanging up. Pulled wheels previous owner replaced pads and rotors and e brake lever and springs look like they are moving freely. I have not taken the calipers off but I suspect the pistons could be sticking? Anyone experience similar issues?
Check the internal auto=adjusters that are part of hte rear caliper internals. Those could be dry and sticking.
We have an article off the main webpage about rear caliper stuff.

on the same note this May sound like sacrilidge but are the rear calipers still available for purchase remanufactured?
Yes but get the steal piston type or they will drag. I forgot 2 years ago and am sorry now!
any particular make or source you recommend?
I've never seen other than a steel pistomn for the rear calipers. The parking brake adjuster is an internal part of the piston, so I don't see how it could not be steel.Yes but get the steal piston type or they will drag. I forgot 2 years ago and am sorry now!
