funny you should mention that, i had my front pads swapped today on my brembo's, The inner pads on either side where jammed in, outer pads where free moving. absolute pain to remove the inner's - suspect previous owner/garage had just knocked them in with a hammer!

ended up having to grind/file down the new pad base plate edges a little to get them into the caliper & move freely.
