In addition, to what's been said, retract the pistion by turning the 4mm allen bolt counterclockwise all the way, then push in piston. After placing in your pads, turn the bolt clockwise, assuming you are facing the caliper from the wheel well. Do this until you can't turn the disc with your hand. Press in the brake pedal and let go to ensure a proper sitting and contact of the piston with the pads. Next, turn counterclockwise about a quarter turn just enough for u to turn the disc with your hand. Put back in the cap and your are all set.
It worked for my 92 9k.
That's my 2 cents.
