Default Sticking Rear Brake

Just come back from a blast and found one rear disk pretty hot. (the other three were not.

I guess it's sticking as it has not had lots of use the last couple of weeks.

Other than pumping the peddle, is there anything else I should be doing?

Suggestions gratefully received.

Clean thoroghly with brake cleaner, wind piston back in & fit new rear pads.

That normally cures it.

If that made no sense, take it to a mechanic.

Pumping the pedal won't help. If your'e lucky you might get away with cleaning all the crud and crap off it, (with the pads out) and then ensuring the piston moves in and out freely. Be careful not to shove the piston right out of the caliper though. Failing that, new caliper.
