Right, I guess I'm having a different issue. In my case the pads get stopped right from the very beginning where they first touch the abutment plates, or they barely clear and then have to be hammered in (and then out). At the entry point on my caliper, the abutment plates aren't bent in toward the pad area nor is there a gap between the abutment plate and the caliper itself that could get eliminated, so short of filing them down to make them thinner overall (which I'm not crazy about) I don't see a solution. I guess I'll just keep grinding the pad backing plates down.
