If I recall correctly, at least two of the caliper bolts are of the "not
to be reused" variety according to Bentley.
I forget which ones they are.  Also make sure you clean the calipers
well, get all the dust off of them and use caliper lube on the moving
parts (not the brake pads.)  I once had a re-occuring problem where a
caliper would stick and get the wheel too hot to touch. The system was
bled well, cleaning the calipers and greasing them with caliper grease
solved the problem.
