You need to adjust the hand brake shoes inside the rear disc.
Take wheel off and you'll see a rubber grommet where the wheel sits against the hub/disc. Remove in the rotate disc to about the 6:00 position then look inside with torch and you'll see the adjuster. Rotate it using a flat blade screwdriver through the hole.
Do this with the hand brake off and out of gear and keep adjusting till you feel the shoes grab the disc. Then just back it off a touch cos you don't want them touching all the time.

Best to do this on a 2 post ramp with all 4 wheels off the ground so the disc is easier to rotate.

+1 for that lee.

Ramps would be a lot easier than off axle stands
