Hey, Right i need some more help, bled my back brake and then pads were too close and couldnt get wheel in so i had to push the pistons back in to get wheel in so did that and put it all back on and it rubbs again, plus the lever has gone soft again , and the pins that go in between the pads are rubing on the disk i think any help.

Need help soon, or im going to throw the brakes away ?

By the sounds of it you didn't push the pistons back before you bled the brake, take off the bleed nipple, push the pistons back in(with the pads out), overbleed the brakes (making sure you get all the bubbles out), loosen one bleed nipple and push the pistons back and wipe up the spillage that comes from around the nipple, close the nipple.

I also found that it helps, once the brake is back on the bike to leave the bike upside down overnight with the lever ziptied as far back as it will go without overly forcing it (same power as you would use to stop). In the morning the brake will feel quite nice.

P.s. are you sure you do not have the reach adjuster all the way in/out when you bleed the brake.
