Got a set of Hope Mono M4 which are rubbing front and back-is it just a case of removing pads and lubing the pistons and pushing them back and recentering? Or is there something else I'm missing?

Consistently or intermittently?
Newly fitted or just started?
Push the pistons back, check the alignment (hope have a video on it)
Check the rotors are straight

It's consistent and been fitted for a long time but not sure how long they've been rubbing as it's a pals bike.

Pads out, old toothbrush and some silicon or brake fluid, give everything a good clean up and lube, push the Pistons back in...

Other option if they have been topped up recently is the resovoir may be over full....

Loosen calliper bolts, pull and hold brake lever fully on, tighten calliper bolts.

Is not the way to set up hopes. Center the caliper properly.
