front left brake caliper dragging

Help! Just replaced ball joints on both sides of my F-350 dually 2WD and while I was in there replaced brake pads. The left caliper is dragging badly. Any suggestions or remedies?

Caliper may need to be rebuilt , sometimes the piston in the caliper will get pitted & when you push the piston back in to put of the new pads if will get stuck on the o ring , make sure you lubracate all of the slides on the caliper...Lew
