Did you use (can't think of the name off the top of my head) the tool to depress the pistons back into the caliper? If not I can see why it was difficult because the pistons would clamp slightly to relieve pressure after removal.

I have a c-clamp but my neighbor had this little caliper depressor tool thingy he let me borrow, I never had a problem after using that. Just slapped it on and lined up the bolt holes.
