It sounds like the pads are either not totally free to move or there
is some residual pressure in the brake system causing the heavy brake drag.
The rubber boots should not be putting that much force on the pads to cause
heavy drag. A trapped air bubble in the boot might cause a problem but
seems kind of far out there for an answer.

Hi Ron:
There is some clearance between a fully retracted piston and the pad. I was
able to push the pad away from the disk, and the against the the rubber
boots. I could feel the piston retract. But as soon as I release them they
snap back against the disks, propelled by the rubber. And I can feel it the
next time I step on the brakes, slightly longer pedal the first time.
