Changing the pads on a Suburban like I've done several times. Caliper won't fit over new pads. Pushers are all the way in. I use wearever ceramic pads. Vacuum boost. Brought pads back and got the cheaper non-ceramic pads and same problem.
Old pads will go back in and fit fine. Borsch rotor in great condition.
Any ideas or suggestions to get this finished tonight? Thanks
Update - bottom slide pin in the caliber bracket was stuck throwing the bottom off center just enough to prolong the job.
Thanks for the replies.

Take brake fluid resevior cap off and squeeze in caliper pistons fully (with proper tool). You will likely push out some brake fluid at the resevoir.

sounds like you properly pushed the pistons back into place.
Are you sure you have the exact right pads? If it won't fit over the rotor then you need to push the piston in more, bu if you can't even get the pads into the caliper it's possible you have the wrong part.
