I the same problem with my new rear pads, I know this may sound silly, but I couldnt get my rear calipers in, the guy i bought the car from told me, there was no more pads left. The pistons came all the way out. I took the pistons all the way out til the brake fluid came spraying all out to relieve pressure. Then they went back in easy, all the way in. I got autozone pads as well. After turning them all the way in. There is a little bump on the pads. You have to make sure that the space on the caliper is corresponding with the piston. Also I dont know how, but i may have bent the backing plate a lil. Stuck a screw driver in it and made sure it wasent hitting rotor, then i was good. Of course i had to bleed the brakes afterwerds
