I'm scared to bend the sides of the holder (they seem brittle), but I can't simply slide in the new pads because they are blocked by the back of the screw that holds them to the caliper. What do I do?

Can you just back it out until flush, press in the pad, then thread it into place?

My Modolos look a bit different but I used those pads for my resto.

Good luck.
