SIS adjustment ?

I've just replaced my Deore brake and shifter combined controls for seperate Deore shifter pods.
I stuck with Deore as I had no problems with them in the first place, they are very cheap, and I'm waiting to see what I'll get in the future either XT/XTR's new dual brake and shifter controls with XT disc brake's or stick with seperate brake and shift levers using either Hope mini mono disc's with either SRAM or Shimano shifter pods.

Its the first time I've replaced just the shifter pods, I have replaced a complete rear mech and pod B4, and I'm finding it very difficult to get them set-up sweetly like they was b4 I started changing things
I seem'd to get things working very well at first but I guess the new cable's stretched and it has thrown everything out of kilter, basically things like the front mech as I shift it into the big ring the lever get very very stiff (cable to tight?) and the rear is giving me no end of nightmare's.

I Is there an easy way for me to reset things and start from scratch? I have got the procedure preety much sus'd. I read the Shimano instructions also looked at the Barnetts manual (very usefull!) I also got a Haynes manual on bike mechanics, but these manuals often have slightly conflicting ways of doing the adjustment.

I'm about to have another crack at getting things right. But if anyone can give me some advice that they think will help I'd really appreciate it, as its really really annoying me now. I might just have to pay for it to get done but I'd rather do it myself.
