Hey, Ron,
Before you go replacing something, give it another try. If you use the tool to turn in the caliper, you also have to push in on it. Get in there with a long screwdriver or something and push that sucker in. You might have to use the tool to turn it, pry against it, then repeat the cycle a few times. Eventually, it will go in far enough.
Once you've got enough clearance on the inner side, you can use some force on the outer side (big prying screwdriver again) and open up the gap enough to get those outer pads in. Don't be afraid to use a bit of leverage. They'll fit.
