well now you got me all freaked out - i just got the pads installed a minute ago, i had to put the piston side new brake pad in first and basically push really hard to get the pistons to back in enough that i could get the other side on. Now I didn't do anything with the brake fluid at all...

i haven't taken the caliper itself off i'd need to do that likely to get a c-clamp to fit wouldn't i? the manual doesn't mention taking the caliper off - however as I read online it does look like most do. just nervous to do so as first time.
