Its not the bar, its your lever. They rust up and then will not retract fully. If you look on the lever there is a stop pin on it. With new pads it has to be retracted to the stop. Also the shoes at the bottom should almost be hitting the stop. I file the rust out of the lever and keep working it back and forth until it moves freely again. If you have the right pads, and you can't get the rotor on you have not got the lever retracted enough.
