Rear caliper in halves

Quick question: I recently changed my brake pads on the rear and inadvertently removed/separated the two halves of the caliper. Is there anything special I should know regarding re-assembly?
I cleaned up the mating surfaces, torqued to specifications, replaced the brake fluid and bled the line. It feels great, but I don't want to discover I missed something cruising into an intersection.  Thx.

Their pretty simple...as long as u assembled it correctly i don't see any probs.
You have a strange definition of that word "inadvertently"............as in; i inadvertently robbed a bank.  :)

I did mine yesterday. They had never been changed before. It was the only way to change the pads because I couldn't access the pins. Probably a good idea to do it anyway and give them a good clean as they do fill up with crap
If I'm not riding it, I'm fixing something or making it cooler...... Kinda
