Emergency brake rubbing,,,,adjusted to tight. you should be able to
spin tire when off the ground.

must remove rim and then you look threw the lug holes and look for a Star wheel turn it with a screw driver. each side is opposite, up is tighter brake and turning the star wheel down will loosen. when you push the ebrake it should generally go about half way to the floor. .....but if you turn the wheel while off the ground and you dont hear anything dragging or grabbing and the wheel spins free you prob ok then.
