Will add you to the list Joey. Removal/Install isnt all that hard. Should take about 10 minutes.
It's very tricky though, I have heard about people dropping the pin inside the block and then ended up opening it up to get the pin. It doesn't take too much time but you have to know what you are doing and be patient like Dave!
I bought my car with 5X,XXX miles and sound was already there

I'm glad i asked dave to do it for me. Dave showed me what is what etc and i saw him taking out pin at the end and i was like 'where that thing came from...?'

pin? wtf? the service manual tells you how to do this without using a pin. its very simple and involves a long bolt and a nut.
no pliers or pin pulling required.

That's where my extraordinary strength comes in to play.
You have to have a pin to lock the piston down. Thats the whole reason there is a maintenance hole....so you can extract the pin to release the piston. They come from the factory with a pin lock.

Ive had S2Dave change mine out and it works great. Highly Recomended.
