i resolved the issue by clearancing the contact area of the pad on the caliper itself. i think by grinding the pad i was not resolving the issue. by clearancing the caliper i now can replace the pads without any issue in the future. i only have about .040 clearance. since this is a floating caliper i think it will be fine. i tweaked the mounting tabs of the pads to pull it tight against the caliper not not let is float as much. seems to look o.k. i used a napa brand semi metalic pad.
