avid juicy carbon Disc brake problems

My rear disc pistons seem to be too tight on the disc.
Have tried pushing them back with screwdriver and realigning but there is still very little clearance giving a slight rubbing sound. Wondering if they are sezzed up at all.
Any advice? Is there any decent bike shops who can set them up in wigan preston or southport area.

12months or so. have been throught a few sets of pads.0

have they been bleed without having the pistons pushed home?
could be too much fluid. release the bleed nipple on the lever and then push the pads home."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

sounds about right. will give it a try.
When working normally should the pistons return completey back in.0 -
well they should press in far enough so you can fit the disc
IIRC there is a nice image in the manual."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
