Rear caliper clearence

[iago]

I replaced all the pads on my 98 mustang and in keeping with my latest string of bad luck I couldn't fit the new pads in the rear. I used the right tool to screw in the piston but it only goes so far in then it just keeps turning without retracting. Because of this I could only fit the new inboard pad and the old(well worn) outboard pad.

This was the same for both sides and the pads are EBC greenstuff. Anybody else have this problem? Any hints?

Thanks,

Don

my rear brakes did exactly the same thing to me. I let my friend do my brakes and he had to basically hammer the rear ones in. I found out there's some kind of tool and opens up the caliper and you just drop in the pads. I haven't seen one but hopefully there is.
