Rear brake pads jamming...

Hey
Im trying to remove de read brake pads. On one side of the car, it worked perfectly but on the other side, 1 of the pad is jammed. While i was looking at it, i realised there was some metal pins holding the pad in place (which were missing on the other side) and i can find out how to unclip the pad. I've went thru the Shop manual and I cant seem to find what I'm looking for.
Anyone got the same problem as me?

The car is a MX3 GS V6 1995 (Rear disc brakes)

Thanks

i dont have any pics but yet the hand brake is released. The caliper is slidded away from the rotor, but i just cant remove the pad from there... The pad on the front of the rotor went off easly though..

"Tap" the brake pad with a hammer. It is just rusted on or pressed in from heat and pressure.
