Hi

Need some help with this problem affecting the rear brakes on
my '87 505, N9TE, sedan.
The brakes won't let go immediately upon release of the hand brake lever!
I have to drive up to 1 mile and/or pump the hand lever to get the rear
brakes to finally release.
The pads and callipers were replaced @ 12,000 miles ago.
Put the car is on the lift and my technician noticed that foot
braking also has drag, but not as much as with the hand lever.
Since the hand lever is mechanical, and foot brake is hydrolic, what
component is common to both mechanisms so as to cause this drag?
OR
do I have two seperate problems with similar symptoms.

All help, advice, and anecdotes appeciated.
