Rear Brake Rubbing

[Pft shh 89]

Hey all, just want to know what i should be checking. My car just got back from the mechanic to have clutch replaced, i've done approx 110kms on it since and i've noticed the rear passenger side brake has started rubbing. Can't see how the two could be related but just thought i'd throw that in there. Is definately rubbing cause it's started scratching into the disc on the outside edge. From the edge to about 8mm in is constant marking and then in a few small patches about halfway through the contact area. What things should i check and how to do so?? To me the pads don't appear excessively worn as its pretty much the same as the driver side which isn't rubbing.

sticky caliper?

are the rear calpers single piston and floating? if so, they may need some grease on the sliders - or whatever they are called.

it also may just be seized

I reckon the brake cable has been overtightened during reassembly.

does the handbrake not activate a drum brake inside the rear brake disc?

so i made the missus move her car out of the garage so i could have somewhere flat to jack it up and pulled the caliper off and it appears the pads are excessively worn, as in there is no pad left. they look alot different to my old vl's ones when they're in hence me assuming they weren't worn, but they definately are f***ed. Ordered a new set from Repco should be here tuesday. Glad it's an easy fix
