Hey all,
Last weekend I was attempting to pull my VANOS solenoids (

) for cleaning, but I just couldn't get enough room to access them from the top due to all of the hoses and the tight space between the radiator fan and their location.
I was able to remove the hex bolt which mounts the solenoid to the engine, but couldn't get a good grip (that wasn't potentially going to cause damage) with some needle nose pliers to remove the solenoid. Next I tried to remove the radiator fan, but couldn't get that to slide out. I removed the torx screw on the passenger side, then popped the tab out down on the driver side, but It seemed to still be connected to something near the rubber plug on the driver side?
Has anyone done this before?? Any help would be deeply appreciated!
