Just changed my Forge pistons tonight-->
took me about 50 minutes, and I removed them from the car.
My drivers side valve came out easily, but even though the engine was ice cold (not started in 2 days) the valve didn't open and close quickly enough for me. (got a sshhhhhhtuuck!! instead of a positive sshtuck!)
The passenger side valve was practically sealed to the lower half of the attaching hose. Try as I might, I couldn't get that sucker loose. Took me about 20 minutes to break it free without breaking the hose.
Once the new pistons and o-rings were installed, both valves closed faster and more positive than with the nylons in.
Will take a test drive tomorrow to see how it feels.
