stuck brake pads

Try pushing the brake piston in a bit first. Usually the rotor wears in such a way that there is a ridge left around the outer edge that the pads catch on when you try to pull them off with the caliper.

There might also be a 'keeper' plate in the access point for the caliper. This must be removed before you can mess around with the pads.
