Hi dramapig,
That's exactly the best way of how to do the job. You're going to find that your machine runs somewhat smoother resulting from this repair job you've done and saved quite a bit of money in the process I'd say.
If you have any other questions no matter how trivial you might think they are I will only be too happy to help you from here onwards as DeeJay won't be available for a little while.
Cheers,
BB
