Default stuck brake pad

I'm in the middle of switching to track pads on my S2 and have run into a problem. On the right rear brake, I can't get the inner pad to come out. The other three slide in and out fin, but this one is fused or something. I can get it to move towards and away from the rotor a tiny but, but when pulling I get nothing. Any ideas on how to break it lose?

I'd search, but it seems to be broken again, as any search for words in thread titles only gives me no matches.

Are you sure you don't have brake dampeners stuck to the back of this pad that are keeping it from sliding out? If not, get a rubber mallet and pop it inwards a few times. See if this breaks it loose.

If all else fails, take off the caliper. If one pad is out, the "lip" on the rotor should not create a problem.

Took the caliper off and was able to get the pad out. Getting the caliper back on was all sorts of fun with the tiny spacers.
