I tried putting on the new pads and getting the caliper back on but no go. It won't go over the new pads.

OP I wouldn't sand the brakes down you need to make sure the brakes are working properly. What I do when they are being stubborn I try spinning it one way and than spin it the other way eventually it will go in
