Ok so I'm changing the rotors and pads on the back of my car. I put the new rotor on and put the new pads into place in th caliper bracket. However, when I try to put the caliper back into place it will not fit. It is as if the outer brake pad is just too thick. The caliper is not big enough to fit over the outer brake pad and the caliper bracket. It simply does not reach from one side to the other like it is supposed to. I put the old outer pad back into place, which is about half the thickness of the new outer pad, and the caliper went right into place.
Is there some magic trick to this or something? Do I just have to beat it all into place with a hammer or some junk? I checked with the part store and I have the right pads.
Please help. Thanks.
