Brake grabing problem

ok i just replaced my caliper bracket and now the brake(drivers side rear) is overheating. so i jack up the car and the tire will baraly move sounds like the brakes are grabing. so i let it cool and now the tire turns smoothly but still sounds like it is grabing a little. any ideas?

froze caliper pin, cocked piston in caliper, collapsed brake hose, frozen caliper.

e ebrake isn't connected caliper not frozen not a brake hose sometimes it makes a poping noise from that brake when i press the brake pettle the pins that hold the brake pads in place are kind of bent could it not be seating right with the nib on the pad to the piston???

How did you come to rule out a collapsed flexible brake line? It really does sound like thats what it is, especially because you said that the calipers release after it sits for a little while. The way I diagnosed my collapsed line was to jack the wheel up make sure it spins freely then press the brake pedal firmly then try to spin the wheel if it sticks then wait a half hour and try again if its the brake line it should spin freely, if its a frozen caliper it wont.
When my front brake line collapsed the wheel got so hot it was glowing and melted the valve stem!

The pins shouldn't be bent. That there is your problem. If that does't solve it you need to look into new lines.
