Trying to remove VCT solenoid through valve cover
Hello, I am stuck! I have an '07 5.4 and I cannot get the solenoid valve to clear opening in valve cover. The metal flange on solenoid will not clear the seal seat in cover. There probably isnt but 1/8" clearance around solenoid body. Any suggestions? Thanks, JP

Well I hate to dig up an old thread this way but I just have to know if anyone can corroborate this guy's experience. I too am dreading removing the passenger side valve cover and draining all the freon from the AC system. So please someone back this guy up that it is possible to remove the vct solenoid on the '07 and later F150's.

So are you saying that this guy's 07 was an earlier 07 that had the type that could be removed from outside of the valve cover?
I just wonder if this guy knew some trick.
I really loathe the idea of evacuating and then recharging the AC...
