Actually, no real problems. Quick. Right stuff. Helpful. others seem to have less good luck :-)

One little problem was that they did not have the replacement, new, self-tightening caliper bolts. So I re-used the old ones, but between Kris, bentley and ECS, I felt like I had 3 sets of conflicting input as to "do you lubricate them"; "do you apply loktite?" and "where?". I wound up using lithium grease, but leaving the 3/8" at the tip unlubricated.
