Man, you guys were spot on! The symptoms you described were EXACTLY what my truck was doing. Your step by step was great (other than getting the grommet being a pain to get out). The mechanic I took it to only did an oil pressure test and went straight to it needing a new engine for $7000.00. That just didn't sit well with me. So for about $120.00, including the 27mm socket and extension, I have my truck back. Thank you so much for doing what you do. If you're ever down this way, I owe you a beer!

Use caution.. I'm sure this video is accurate for several 5.4s but my solenoid did not physically fit through the port in the valve cover requiring the valve cover to be removed. That's not a huge deal. The bigger issue is that the bolt holding on my solenoid to the cylinder head was not "captive" which cause it to fall into the engine. I'm on hour 5 of trying to find it and fish it out. The content is fine but like I said, Be careful. All ford's are not the same.

Using an older screwdriver to replace the sensor, you can put a socket on the end and then set the torque to specs. It has to be the old plastic yellow handle type screwdriver so you can drop the socket on it.

You’ll have to remove the valve covers on

And what about the version where the sensors don't fit through the hole in the valve cover with the screws attached...? On the pasenger side I had to remove the screw from the sensor inside the valve cover (not my brightest idea) and used a magnet to attempt to remove it from the hole separately, dropped it off the magnet down the engine because it still wouldn't fit through the hole, forced the old sensor out breaking it in the process, purchased multiple magnetic and grabber tools and a camera to fish out bolt, then forced the new sensor in without the bolt attached, electrical taped the bolt to the T27 and worked it down to the bolt hole, screwed it in then pulled the T27 out realizing i taped the bolt too far and the tape stayed on the bolt not the wrench, used a small razor knife, the camera and micro needle nose pliers to get tape out and 2 weeks later was finally done. I need to do the driver side now. Not sure if removing the valve cover would be easier or not... the solenoids came with two different size grommets, obviously someone figured out the hole needed to be bigger after the fact.

I took a 3/8 drive extension and and the 22mm socket I was supposed to use to hammer it in. Instead, I put the female end of the extension on the edges of the seal and hammered it down with the socket until it was all perfectly aligned. The center of seal won’t align properly unless you try to use the 22mm in the center to start with. Worked for me anyways. Also reused my old seals too, as they are in good shape. I used a butterknife to get partway in between the housing and seal and pryed out. Got the seal out with no damage on both sides. Yes I know this is the “wrong way” but it has held up for years. And I didn’t have the right tools except for the 22mm socket and the t27 screwdriver.

For some models you have to remove the valve cover due that the hole is too narrow which is a pain in the butt. It happen to me a while ago and sucks!!!

I have a 2007 with a 5.4l. The demonstration in this video will NOT work for that year and engine. I found out the hard way. I checked it with the Ford forums. A certified Ford mechanic explained that the 2007 MUST have the valve covers pulled to replace the solenoids. He was correct. You cant even get a T27 torx on the bolt. Just writin ....

The tabs are only from 2006 and earlier, after December of 2006, it's a smooth round seal; no tabs. Anyone got tips on how to remove the solenoid on that? Most vids I see on this process remove the valve covers, which seems a bit excessive.

@DGPHolyHandgrenade

3 жыл бұрын

I'm not entirely sure that this is possible on the smooth round ones (no tabs). I can only barely see the bolt, and there's less room (the solenoid is centered on the smooth round ones leading to a presumably smaller access port. I cannot seem to get the T27 lined up to get into the bolt to remove it. Extra frustrating since your vid claims to be through 2007; I have a 2007 FX4 5.4L and the general process looks to be the same but the tools I have dont seem to want to allow for a proper alignment to get the bolt out; I'm forced off line because of the shoulder of the solenoid, and forced out of line because of that without room to get the tool in line. There is a notch at about 7 o'clock position that allows for a bit better access, but it's at a steep angle and doesnt seem to allow for a decent alignment to the bolt.

After further attempts, it looks like this is simply not possible on the version I have. It will require a valve cover removal; which in turn, will require removal of the wiring harness, ignition coils, and spark plugs; best to have a valve cover gasket on hand before the replacement. Adding the info here just in case someone else has similar issues; I was hoping this would be a simple fix as in the vid, but it is not.

Same, just a bit easier because there's no support bracket in the way (we wanted to show the harder of the two)

Thank you Guys! I almost sold my 2004 5.4L LARIAT! You gave me another few years hopefully! Random info: The driver bank 2 and passenger bank 1 use the same part "Dorman 917-200"

Further to the comment below that I have made, You say that the torx is a #30 Another KZread tells me that it is a #27. I know that the torx screw in the new CVT is neither. Please enlighten me on the torx size and also the answer to my comment below. Thanks

This isn't for all 2007 5,4 you have to remove the valve cover. This video needs to be edited to let people know. Totally sucked trying to get it out and finding out later. I couldn't do it this way....

Socket fell inside the hole what to do

don't know which bank your working

No way that thing came out that easy

I have a technique to remove and reuse the gromments.

This doesnt work for an 08 f150 limited AWD. Just tried it. You need to uncover the motor

Will these cause performance issues if are clogged or dirty, before they fail?
