With the caliper off the mount, Leave the old pad in place against the
piston. Use a large C clamp and just turn it down until the piston is all the
way in. This way you can just pop pads in and out, without having to bleed
the brakes.
I have been off line for 5 days, so I am just catching up. My Router was
down, and I had to wait for a part.
It took UPS 5 days to overnight it from ............ NJ. Sheesh.

You shouldn't have to take material off the pads... have you opened
the bleeder to let the pressure off? Also there is a tool, looks like
an odd-shaped cube, that is designed to screw the piston back in the
caliper. Edit, found it (see 2nd item):

That may be what you need, I ran into the same problem on the '95
Gutless. I didn't buy the tool but I ended up figuring a way to screw
the piston in... can't recall how though... Take a look at the piston
and see if it has indentions for a tool.
