How the ### do I get the new front brake pads into the caliper of a 98 c230?

I am putting some brake pads on the front of a 1998 C230. I have the caliper off and removed the old rusty backed pads. Because the new pads are aso much thicker they won't go back in. Is there a special trick to getting them in? Also do i have to adjust the piston on the caliper since there is more pad material and a new rotor?
