adjusting brakes

I have a Raymond EZ R40TT forklift that I've been having brake issues with. About a little over 2 months ago another tech that works where I do had this truck come in....the production crew said it was making a grinding noise while stopping. We ordered the parts needed to replace the brake pads, and the master cylinder the truck now makes a rubbing sound that comes from the brake assembly. when i opened it up everything was loose. Is there a step by step way to do this brake job correctly? it was stopping fine with no sounds but I can't seem to find any videos or files on how to do it right.Thanks for any and all help.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
