The key to tightening your chain is to take equal slack from both sides in very small increments each time then rotate the wheel before checking tension. Otherwise you will find it tight on the top and loose on the bottom or tight enough then it will loosen when you adjust the side opposite the sprocket. I usually adjust the opposite side first and then the sprocket side. It may just be my perception but it seems that I get proper tension in less adjustment that way.
As far as the disc pads. You should completely compress the piston before installing the new pads. If you don't you may not be able to get both new ones to fit over the rotor.
