So I recently bought new EBC brake pads for my 03 blaster with hydraulic brakes (obviously) and when I went to install the caliper with the new pads back on the machine they barely fit on the rotor and there was a gap between the caliper and where it mounts. I also recently did axle bearings which went smoothly and everything fit right but I’m not sure if that would have anything to do with the caliper not fitting.

I pushing the pin that pushes on the pads as much as I could with a c clamp and they still wouldn’t fit. What should I do?
