Brake Pad rubbing noise

I recently bought a 2010 GTS AWD with 15k miles. While I am driving i can hear a rubbing noise coming from my drivers side, I am not sure if its the front or rear. Its not a constant rubbing noise but I can hear it at least once every time the tire rotates. I believe its the Pad rubbing on the rotor however i took the front caliper off and didnt notice any rubbing marks or anything. While trying to remove the rear caliper i realized that with the Ebrake assembly on there i cant remove the caliper. How do you remove the caliper from the rotor with this assembly??

Any help on either question is much appreciated. What can the noise be? how can i stop it?

and how do i get the rear caliper off of the rotor?

Thanks in advance.

I have a kizzy 2010 and had to replace the rear brake pads and discs at 15k! Much too early, if you ask me, but quite normal they said at the repear shop.

Please let me hear from you what you find out.

15k for the discs is way too early to be considered normal

I had a problem when the brake pad got stuck and wouldn't move away from the disc. That caused
1.) premature brake pad wear
2.) nasty noise once the brake pad was nearly worn out
