Well..overtime the space between the "pad" and the rotor decrease because the pad wears down. You cant just pop the old pad out and slide the new one in because the new one is THICKER than the old one and you need space to align it as well. so what do you do? Use the c clamp to "open" the brake caliper to the max so you have all the room in the world to put in your new pads. Hope that makes sense...
