I have a similar problem on my '93 9000. Every now and then, always first thing in the morning, when I take the handbrake off, one of the callipers stays locked on the rear passenger side. It will usually come off after trying to drive the car to heat up the disc. No amount of braking or use of the handbrake helps.
