Default rear brakes locked

I went for a ride on my 04 raptor sunday and took a girl on the back....Well i sat forward quite a bit to give her room and in turn rode the crap out of my rear brake w/o knowing it. (less the 5 minutes)..Everything was fine I let her off at my house and went to play in the mud. Got in some nasty shi*t that stuck everywhere. I just about buried the alxes in mud a few times. And like a dumbass I never hosed her off after I got home cause it was dark and getting cold. The next day i went to move it and the back tires are almost locked. I have to use all my might to push it, I check the brakes and the pads are def resting on the rotor, there is no gap at all....So i hosed her down nice and good got all the mud off the linkages....NO LUCK, its still stuck. SRY about the long post. Any help would be great guys! TIA

PS i can move if i drive it but the rear is still sticking, and the tires do spin w/o enough pushing force but im 250lbs and can barely move it....

Make sure that your rear skid plate is free from the rotor. If you hit a big rock or something it may have bent the skid plate enough to make contact with the rotor. Also, make sure your rotor isn't bent. If all looks well then clean the surface of the rotor really well and maybe even remove the caliper to better clean the pads. There shouldn't be clearence between the pads and rotor that is noticable to the naked eye.

You may also want to look at the drive side (chain & sprockets) to make sure nothing is hanging up there either. When cleaning brake components use only brake/parts cleaner.
