I'm not sure how much do I have to press the pistons, but I already put some force to put them to the sides but I,m afraid of breaking something if I try harder. Right now there is no clearance with the caliper bolts loose, the pads hit the rotor on both sides.

@nck You need to push the pistons all the way in, they should be flush with the surface. Did you manage that? Take care because they are brittle, don’t damage them and push straight. They will move quite easily when you find the right spot. I would clean them first too.

@Swifty I was only able to do it after doing what is suggested in the other response. Thanks.
