    Pumping the brake pedal and cranking the handle should take up the slack. once the pistons were pushed back on mine it took a couple of times to get it back to something like normal.

    Pump the pedal repeatedly first, to bring the pistons into the correct position. The handbrake lever should only then need to move the pads a couple of mm further.

    I confirm I took a little time to set after changing the discs and pads for new ones (larger ones BTW, along with the calipers), but it self adjusted OK.
