With my replacement set on the way, that makes 3 of us waiting for the BBT! I didn't use silicone on my current TBs and don't have any leaks, so I don't know if it is absolutely necessary. The most difficult part of the swap is removing the front hex bolt on each hanger; it's LocTited in at the factory. For some odd reason, the rear bolt on each hanger came out easy. I simply drilled out the center of each problem child and it popped free.
