Brakes Dragging

I just did my brakes this past weekend and since then I can tell at least one side is dragging pretty bad. I'm pretty sure it's the driver's side since it was hard to turn once I put everything back together. I noticed the cylinder in that caliper was pretty tough to put back in. I had to take the bleeder valve all the way out and even then I needed leverage to push it in, I couldn't do it with just my hands like the other side. Does this sound like the culprit? I'm going to fix it this weekend, I just want to know if a rebuilt caliper will be the end of my woes or I need to look at anything else.

Sounds like you are on the right track. When you replace the one caliper, do the other side at the same time to have balanced braking.
