Caliper Pin won't go In

Here's the deal: bolt #13 does thread into caliper pin #1. It's now all one unit. The whole unit pin and bolt won't go into the caliper (the mounting bracket actually). The end of the caliper pin isn't threaded. It's got three flat sides and three round sides. So how does it go in?

All suggestions greatly appreciated.

The caliper pins are held onto the caliper mounting bracket solely by the rubber boots on them. They are not supposed to be "threaded on". They are greased up and inserted straight in until the rubber boot pops on.

Bolt #13 and pin #1 should not be put together before you insert the pins into the mounting bracket. Both caliper pins should go into the bracket first, the caliper should go on top of that, and bolt #13 should go through the holes in the caliper and be threaded onto the inside of the caliper pins afterwards.
