VCT Solenoid Removal
The VCT solenoid is serviced separately from the VCT valve body. No special tools are needed to remove the
solenoid. The retaining bolt is captured in the mounting tab.
1. Disconnect the solenoid electrical connection.
2. Remove the valve cover grommet.
3. Remove the hold-down bolt.
4. Remove the solenoid.
CAUTION: Do not drop the solenoid screw into the front cover. If the screw drops into the front
cover, the front cover must be removed to retrieve the screw. Do not use power tools to remove the
screw.
CAUTION: Use care to prevent contamination from falling in the valve body spool bore. Thoroughly
clean around cam cover and solenoid seal before removing the seal and solenoid.
