Slacken handbrake, keep winding the calipers in 1/4 turn until they dont fit over the pads then wind caliper out 1/4 turn and fit. If you have to force caliper on, its too tight, wind 1/4 out and fit.
With it fitted temp remove handbrake spring using mole/vice grips, now operate handbrake manually, I use my wheel brace with 17mm, I can then spin the hub operate the handbrake, be gentle with it though.
After that refit the spring.
HAYNES recommends 7-11 clicks for handbrake.
