I almost broke my house putting those fuckers in. Then atb just snaps them in no problem. I think you just gotta be a panzy for it to work.

Try pushing back the pistons at least 20 times each. If you still can not get them in consider bleeding the brakes. With my juicy 5 the first time I had to change the pads I needed to bleed them because I had this exact same problem. Also never bleed the brakes unless the pads are brand new or you will never fit in new pads without bleeding again.

watch the pistons when you put the pads in. There's a 'ramp' on the back of the pad thats supposed to ease them in but its not idiotproof. I've got a broken piston right now to prove it :)
