You see the little mini pistons on either side of the caliper (not sure of their name) should there by any resistance at all in them?? I'm able to move the carrier etc very freely

They're the sliders. They should slide freely

It's not a great idea to mess with brakes if you don't know what you are doing.

I know how to change things on them etc i just wasn't sure whether there was supposed to be any tension there.

Is it a case of cutting the pads to the shape of the pads and use the grease to apply the them to the back of the pads

Exactly that. Just make sure the pad is covering the part of the brake pad the piston presses against.

Have you not used these before then? Well according to your post you have. What have you done in the past just left them on?
