- - Question on VANOS Solenoid Replacing (http://forums.pelicanparts.com/mini-discussion-forum/879841-question-vanos-solenoid-replacing.html)

I recently removed my VANOS solenoid which was a pain in the you know what to remove, took almost all day! If I were to replace it soon would anyone expect that it might come out a little easier this time or is it going to be troublesome again? Also originally it felt as if something inside the head was gripping it from coming out the first time at 62,000 miles, it had never been remove before.

Thanks
