When depressing the piston into its' bore to remove the front pads the outer pad retaining spring that is secured to the pad does not allow the c-clamp or bar clamp end to be placed flush against the pad. Is it ok to secure the clamp end directly over the spring to depress the piston? Can the other end of the c-clamp or bar clamp be secured on any other part of the caliper other than the back end near the brake hose?
