It's been about a year (15k miles or so) since I installed my BSH DV Relo kit. Everything is working fine, but as recommended by many here, it was time to do the DV Service, cleaning and lubrication.
I removed the DV after first warming the engine a bit; the silicone hoses are more agreeable then.
Brought the Valve to the bench, took it apart, cleaned everything with a soft cloth, lubricated with Mobil 1 Synthetic Bearing Grease,
Reassembled, tested and reinstalled. I followed the Forge Valve Service instructions, here:

It was all very simple.
Took the car for a test drive, nothing noticeably different, but I am good to go for another year.
