Fittin New Disc Brake Pads....they are too fat!
I have a Giant Warp DS2, just replacing the front disc brake pads which I thought would be no problem, even for an idiot like me.
They are Hayes pads (small circular, with 1 small extruding arm), as in this picture:

I've taken the old pads out, but I can only get 1 of the new pads in, as they are too 'fat', as in unworn. There isn't enought space to insert the 2nd pad
Anyone any idea how to get round this?
Thanks

If the piston is already pushed back in, try sanding the pads down a bit.
