brake install, need help
I'm installing hawk hps pads on my 2000 civic ex and I can't seem to pivot the caliper back over the pads. it seems the pads are too thick. is there any way I can get the caliper over the pads?

take one of the old pads and put it on the piston, the c-clap it all the way down until it's compressed. Once compressed, slide it back on and you're good to go.
Of you can bleed the brakes and re-fill fluid, whichever floats your boat.

yes you need to compress the piston back into the caliper.
the rears (if you are doing them too) get twisted in like a screw, not clamped in like the fronts.
