Well, just a follow-up on some of my questions.

-Bought the Mercedes kit from the dealer, which were basically Textar branded pads with the star and a replacement caliper bolt.

-Ironically, found a bunch of answers to my question about re-using the caliper bolts when I was searching for posts on how to actually remove the bolts. The consensus seems to be yes, you can re-use them.

-I ended up using some Mercedes paste, which basically looks like anti-seize, on the pads.

-After spending two days on the big caliper bolts, eventually just bought myself a 4 foot piece of 1" dia steel pipe. "Wow." Don't know why I didn't get one of those a long long time ago.

-Used a 6" C-clamp to push the piston back in, with the bleeder screw open. Also "wow." So much easier than trying to push them in by hand or screwdriver.

-The set screw that comes with the Brembo rotors doesn't fit the hole in the stock hub. So I re-used the old ones.

-Never did figure out what to do with old brake fluid. Maybe I will call up the Waste Board or the county to see what they think.

Thanks all,
Anthony
