Hi, I just had a new tire put on my rear wheel. I had some trouble installing the rear wheel when I tried putting it back on but finally got it. My issue is when I spin the wheel on the stand, the brake is dragging. The tire is straight. Rotor is not bent. It looks like one of the retainer clips that hold the pads in may be hanging out of the caliper? When I ride it and apply the brakes they squeal really bad and drag. Any help is appreciated
Pull the wheel back off and put the retainer clip in the correct position install wheel.That's where I would start.

Hey guys,
I got it figured out. You were right! As soon as I took a closer look I could see the the spring clip that is used to hold the brake pads in had been knocked out of alignment and was hanging out far enough to drag on the rotor when the brakes were applied. Pulled the pads out, pulled both retainer clips out and reinstalled. 10 minute fix that I overlook the other day out of frustration from fighting with getting my wheel back into the swingarm. The wheel spacers were making it a real PITA. thanks for your reply. You were right on the money!
