Method A: Using a flat and sturdy piece of metal inbetween the pads, rock the shim back and forth to separate the pads enough to get your rotor in.
Method B: If the pads are completely closed together and "Method A" is impossible, use a flat head screwdriver in between the exposed sections of the metal backing plates and use a twisting motion as though you were screwing in a screw until you are able to utilize "Method A" to finish the job. Make sure if you use the screwdriver not to damage the friction material with it.
Hope this helps,
