I had a hell of a time with mine. Thought maybe i had the wrong pads. Had use a large c-clamp on the caliper, carefully file the edge of the pad so it had a slight chamfer, swear alot, pry some more, swear some more, pound, hit pry, rant.....
They finally went together.
If/when you get em on, take a nice slow easy drive around the block and hit your brakes off and on. Sop and check how hot they're getting. Not too hot? Keep doing this for a couple miles. By then they should be seated/worn in enough. Mine still got a little warmer than usual for a couple days, but never warped the rotors.
