Hi all, i am a complete mtb novice so i am asking for a bit of advice please. Just fitted a new pair of hayes stroker trail rear pads and although they work great, they are constantly binding on the disc.
I have tried loosening of the caliper bolts but it does,nt make any difference. So is there anything else that i can do ?

center the pads
wheel off, take the new ones out
clean around pistons with dry rag
old pads back in (to protect pistons)
force the pistons on both sides fully back in to the caliper with small spanner/screwdriver
old pads out new in
fit wheel
do loads of huge stops to bed the brake in so they last longer
otherwise the brakes need a bleed
