Default Brake disc overheating after bleeding brakes.

So I have a 2005 Sportsman 700. I just finished replacing both front brake calipers and the front (hand) master cylinder. I did not do anything to the rear brakes, but after bleeding all the brakes, the rear brakes seem to be too tight, and the disc is overheating. There does not appear to be an adjustment screw like there is on the front brakes, and i really just don't know what to do. As far as i know, the rear brake was working fine before replacing the front brakes. Anyone have any ideas on what i can do to fix this?

take rear caliper off and compress the piston ,then bleed the rear again ,see if that helps. sometimes you get some gunk on the pistons and the buildup will not let the piston relax.
