There are two ways I can think of to move the pads closer to the disk, the first is to place shims inside each caliper's piston cups, that is behind the inner, black, plastic heat reduction pistons. The second is to jam a small nut or something between the brake lever and the Master Cylinder's piston. I'm not sure your use of the word mechanic is appropriate in this instance because neither is a repair, they are merely a work-around.

I'm not sure about this one, I expect reconditioned calipers to bleed through quite easily, even if done manually. Where did you buy the pistons and seals from?

You may wish to try the following: - I use an Eezibleed (£15) pressure brake bleeding kit adapted to fit by drilling a hole in a spare master cylinder cap and running it at 30lb.
