	Before you removed the old pads did you push back the pistons?  You'll
need a large screwdriver and sortof pry the pad/disk apart.  Do this at
all four pistons.  Make sure your fluid resevoir doesn't overflow when
you do this.  If you can't get them to move, try cracking a bleeder at
the same time that you pry.  If it hasn't moved at this point, it is
probably seized.
