May be the handbrake, OTOH -- when I tried to take my TR3 out of the
storage unit after a 10 month hiatus one of the (rear) brake cylinders
was stuck and dragging the brake. Was able to relieve it by briefly
opening the bleed screw. A thorough bleeding did not take care of it
(wishful thinking on my part) but was able to drive home by using a
hose-plier-clamp-thing on the flex line to shut off pressure to the rear
brakes.
First thing I'd do is jack the rear and see if the drag is on one or
both wheels.
