Inside the calliper are 2 small plates that the pads slide against. The calliper can corrode under them and raise them slightly. this will make them not flat so they go tight on the pads and therefore stop the pads from sliding.

Its a single torx screw to remove them, i think T25, clean up calliper underneath and refit.
