Has anyone posted the step by step to change to Graphtech Ghost saddles on the Acoustic 700?

I am making the change over to Graphtech Ghost saddles on my Variax 700 acoustic. I have ordered the saddles and they gave me 3 saddles for the high strings model #BN-9286RU and 3 for the low strings #BN-9277RU. I paid around $120 + a few $ for shipping.

It seems pretty straightforward to remove the bridge assembly and solder the new ones in place of the original ones. I have read earlier posts and it seems the Graphtech comes with a connector that must be removed and that there are 2 wires for the saddle; blue for ground and silver for the lead.

Has anyone had any problems with this switchover? I have tried to seach the community for this exact operation but all I get is posts where people are switching electric 700's or acoustic 300, which I suppose is not the same-. Either I am not versed on proper search techniques here, or the search function leaves a little to be desired. Anyway, I appreciate any insights.
