    Undo the 2 bolts that connect the brake calliper to the mount, move the calliper until the gap between the pads/rotor is centred & do the bolts back up. Pump the lever a few times & spin the wheel, check it's still centred & if not re-adjust.

    As said undo to the two bolts holding the brake to the mount, use a flat head screwdriver to push the pads back, then spin the wheel and pump the brake lever until it's biting on the rotor, now keep hold of the brake lever and tighten the bolts again, this will centre the rotor in the caliper
