one thing that i noticed is after i put the caliper assembly back, it had a slight play, like no pressure in there. if can't figure out anything today, i will take it tomorrow to the shop.

Thank you all.

sorry to hear that. hopefully they can get it all fixed up and not beat up your wallet. i hate taking any thing to the shop but some times you got to do it.
