Get systemrescuecd. 

Boot off of it.  Use gparted to expand the partition in question.

I use it all of the time with clonezilla.  to resize a partition to make
it smaller before cloneing, then expanding the partition afterwards so I
same storage and it is easier to migrate with a smaller partition.
(clonezilla will not restore to a smaller partition)
