The corner of my factory pad didnt appear worn, and it was 3/16. Anything much over 3/16 and you cant get everything back together, even with a hammer.
Thanks Sprint_9. 3/16" translates to .1875, and as I mentioned, with the pads at .210 I couldn't get the arm back in. 3/16 gets me closer to a better starting point.

Appreciate the effort Mike. Sounds like a perfect justification for a new tool!!
