Other than that everything went smooth as silk! Dust boot was a bit tricky, but once I fiddled with tabs working from corner to corner it went on pretty easy. Just NOT a lot of room under there when its up on jack stands.
Great job!!! and thanks bro!!

I dropped a few of the lil bolts on the top of the heat shield as well which got me thinking of removing the rattling stock heat shield and installing custom thermotec adhesive in its place. It would probably make things quieter as well as heat resistant. . .
One final trick I used was a locking hemostat clip (kind you find in a hospital!) to snag the final tab on the dust boot and slip over the retaining ring. My fingers and hands are just tooo big for that tight spot.
