Hey, if I read your post right you couldnt get the calipers apart far enough to squeeze the pads in? I had a hell of a time with this on my '85 but I eventually took the caliper back out and compressed it more by hammering at an angle at those four little inset circle on the circular caliper surface. The part that the pad goes against, there are these four little circles... maybe you know what I mean? Well I just hammered them and that turned them in, I really had to do a lot of pounding to get them compressed enough. Finally got them on though! Good luck.
Rob
