This allowed me to install the unit in minutes - I just let it hang on the super long bolt as I screwed the nut on top. There is plenty of room for the longer bolt, and it will save you tons of time and bad language.
So the conclusion is: When you re-solder, replace the electrolytic capacitors!

Woot! Glad to hear its working well. And I know what you mean about smoothness. I never had cruise feel so "intelligent" before. On some cars one engages, but the car drops maybe a mile per hour when you take off the pedal. The cruise sees that and suddenly engages causes a small jerk in movement. Not the MB setup, its very smooth and smart!
As for the module. There is a MUCH easier method for removing and reinstalling. Since I was removing mine A LOT, I found this tip helpful. Simple bend back the aluminum case tabs that are bent in on the pin side. When one does this the board simple falls out if the connection is removed. Then you can just slide it back up in (within the rails for the board) and bend the tabs back. Saves a ton of time.
