in essence you are right but i would refrain from crimping or clamping the brake lines.

i would remove everything but leave the original caliper still attached to the line. install all the new ls400 hardware and THEN remove the line and right away reinstall in on the ls400 caliper.

its not that critical how fast you put it on. you will have to bleed your brakes afterwards no matter what.

when you bleed the brakes make sure to do the driver side first. its the side closest to the master cylinder but it is NOT the shortest. reason being that the ABS unit is on the passenger side of the car. thus the passenger brake line is shorter.

good luck.

btw i used regular metal shears to remove the dust shield. its paper-thin and doesnt require much effort to cut.
