So far I have lifted the car, taken the tire off, taken those two long bolts out, put that little clip from the old pad on to the new pad and put both pads in the thing that holds them. But it seems that the two pads are too thick to fit over the rotor. Is there some kind of trick to getting it back on the rotor?
 
You need a C clamp or a caliper piston compressor tool to push the piston back in. Be sure to open your fluid reservoir when you do this so the fluid you are pushing back into the system has somewhere to go.
