New Brake Pads.......

I got my new FR. ROTORS on.......... Now I can't seem to get my new BRAKE PADS on...... It is a lot thicker than my older pads.... I was going to pry it on but I didn't want to @#$% up the pads..... So I just put my old ones on for now....But I need the new ones on....The old ones are like half the width of the new ones....... ANY ideas............

Did you open the caliper up?? Use a large c-clamp and compress the piston into the caliper.
