Rust builds up on the caliper assembly/slider pin, so if you happen to hit the brakes and the caliper gets "stuck" it will heat up, and if you have impurities in your brake fluid, it will boil, and cause the brake to engage fully. This can also happen if you use your brakes alot and you have water/dirt/impurities in the brake fluid, it will gradually heat the brake assembly up enough to boil the fluid.
If it doesn't fit, force it. If it breaks...well...it needed to be replaced anyway.
