I tried installing new pads today, but with the new pads inside the caliper there's not enough clearance to fit the rotor between them. I pushed the piston in with a C-clamp until it can't go in any further. The piston is flush with the rubber boot, is this the most retracted position? Or can the piston go in even more so that it's recessed within the rubber dust seal? I still need 1/4 inch to fit the caliper over the rotor with the new pads. The pads are Duralast MKD466 and are the right ones for this 96 LX. I know grinding the pads isn't a solution. There's gotta be a way to get the piston in further?
I remember seeing someone with a similar problem but I just can't find the thread right now. Please I need some help cuz I gotta keep working on this tomorrow. Thanks everybody.
