Ok, I know absolutely nothing about brakes so excuse the stupid explanation..

Is it possible for the brake pads to be squeezing too tight when they're not supposed to be ?
I have the rear of my car up on jack stands, and (with the e brake off of course), the left rear wheel is somewhat difficult to spin. How easy should it be to spin? The right rear also sounds like its rubbing slightly on the pads, though I'm not sure if this is normally how it's supposed to be? But the left rear definitely has some resistance.

If it isn't supposed to be this way, is it just a simple adjustment or am I going down another deep and dark path... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

This is a shot of the left rear pad...
