Clive;
1. No rubber Bands belong anywhere near adjusters as far as I know...I can't think of anywhere there would be room for a rubber band around the adjuster in the assembled position...perhaps it was there to keep the two "pistons" retained in the housing, and from falling out during shipping, and the assembler thought should it should remain there when assembled...can you post a picture?
Tip: If and when there is access to adjuster(s), assure they are lubed up with graphite grease to prevent future galvanic corrosion, and freezing preventing adjustment.
For No 2, I suggest you search for images, or have a look at an exploded assembly diagram from GCP.
Good Hunting!
