Brake install problems... help...

Hey guys i am trying to install pad and rotors on my 99 gt and i cant get the two torx bolts off... No matter what i use. Also, i tried to just get my pads on and i bought the EBC red stuff pads and i cant get the caliper over the pads so i can seat it down. I did fully compress the pistons i think but i still cant get it over. It is hitting the little black metal peices that are on the outside of the pads.... Please help me as my car is on jacks and i need to get it done... asap...

are they spinning or not turning at all?

if their stinning grab the slide pin with an wrench to stop the pin from moving, if you cant get it to turn be carefull you dont strip it
 
The pads have this little layer of break in material, i dont know if that is a sufficient amount to prevent it from going over but i am not able to get it over, it still hits the black part on teh outside of the pad and will not go over. Will removing fluid from the resevoir allow me to compress the pistons further... Should you be able to see any of the piston if it is fully compressed?
