Beep deed in yet?
Do they work fine?
Some rubbing is normal."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

how do you adjust the pads so that they centre themselves, says something about loosening two bolts and then squeezing the lever and tighting the bolts back up, but which two bolts would it be?0

all covered in the downloadable manual and also Parktools.
the bolts that hold the caliper to the frame/fork/adaptor. If you are not sure see the manual/Parktools."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

theres two bolts that hold the caliper to the frame, with the washers etc between, and then two bolts going through the caliper body, none of the above say which two bolts it needs to be0
