Brakes Pads Won't Fit!

[Motocrossguy17]

Hi guys well iv just got around to getting new bleed screws for the calipers and my new pads won't fit. one of them goes in but there not even 1cm space left and thats with just one. is there a way to make piston go back further to get the new pads in? these brakes are a nightmare lol

the piston should go in flush with the face of the caliper, it helps if the resivior lid is off, or bleeders open, to allow extra fluid to escape the caliper and allow the piston to push in completely.
i like to use an old brake pad against the piston and a small c-clamp to to backside of the caliper to compress it.
