Maybe I'll try the rat tail file. The worst thing that can happen is I ruin a pair of 14 year old brakes and buy another set like I was considering anyway.
Ahh ... I see zee problem now
Here is another suggestion that will work. Let's say the caliper hole is 3mm for the current pads. Measure the new pads to determine the diameter of the stud - say 4mm. Then use a 4mm drill bit to carefully enlarge the hole to accept the new pads.
