I'm presuming the piston will extend back once I remove the c clamp or spreader, right? If so, how do I get the pads + caliper all the way in position on the roter with the spreader/c clamp in the way?

The ECE directions strongly recommended replacing the bearings and packing the new ones with high temp grease. Since I can't remove the existing bearings easily, I'm just reusing them. I think they're fine anyway. Rotor rotates freely. No wiggle.
