Default hayes hfx mag xc issues

lo all,

having a spot of bother, managed to successfully change the pads on the front caliper, but the rear is giving me trouble.

the gap between the pads is too small to fit the rotor, so to get the wheel on i had to remove the caliper itself, and now im lacking a rear brake hehe. i tried the thing where u push the calipers back without the pads on to try and make some more space but its not working.

has any1 got any advice on how to get it so i can fit my rotor back in?

cheers in advance

feel a bit weird replying to my own post but nevermind...

read up on old forum topics and it seems the reason the disc space is so tight is cus when changing the pads i pressed the lever like a idiot (first set of discs, whoops) and it seems the auto adjust that the hayes come with has made it go inwards.

i tried various tricks, like stuffing it with business cards and using a allen key to try and press it back but no luck really, moved a little but not alot.

soooooooo, any other ideas hehe?

cheers and sorry for being an utter pain
