Re: sticky rear caliper
is it always sticking on or sticking on after use?
there isn't a quick fix for brakes (and it wouldn't be wise anyway, bodged brakes = bad)
Strip / Clean rear-caliper should sort it.
If it's sticking on after use make sure the level of fluid in the rear brake isn't over-filled.

Re: sticky rear caliper
I had a similar problem and it turned out to be corrosion underneath the rear caliper dust seals.

Re: sticky rear caliper
I had real problems with mine sticking on, I took the caliper off and copper greased the slides, cleaned the small bleed hole in the master cylinder and put an elastic band on the pedal to ensure it returns fully. Then bled the system it is all working fine, my guess will be the slides needing greasing.
