I got my front brakes done and am tryin to do my rears now, but i cant get the saliper to open any further. There isnt enough room between the pads for the rotor, i tried sticking them in a vice and such but they wouldnt open up any more. Also are the rear pads the same as the front? cause they gave me the exact same pads for the rear as they did for the front.

Take the nut off the brake cable arm, remove the arm and use a set of C-clamps to push the piston into the bore.
