Front Brake Pad Installation.. ?

[CROSS]

I removed the pin, removed the old pads, go to put the new ones in, and they're too thick.. ? I can only fit one in, not both. What am I doing wrong?

They are thicker because they have more pad left on them.

You have to push the piston(s) back into the caliper to allow room for the new ones pads to fit in. :cool:

I've tried it and it moves a little, but there's still not enough room. Lol.. I can't believe I can take apart and re-install my entire suspension/steering set up but can't install brake pads.

Just tried again. No shot. I can get one new pad in, the other hits the piston. How do I press the piston in more?
