Is this Pad wear?

Took the pads off, the rear pads of both front wheels appear to be coming away from the metal backing, there was maybe a nearly a cm of pad left but they are very shiny and pitted.
Should the pads slide freely in their holders? They were a right swine to get out.
I've ordered the bits now anyway so I might as well change them when I do the brake fluid.

Clean the sliders (both sides) with a brush and WD40, then ensure you apply a decent amount of copper slip to them when fitting the new pads.
Do not underestimate how much copper slip you need to apply. If in doubt, spludge a bit more on...the same can be said for the back of the pads
