Quality product, fix the problem now

This is a reliable product that fixed the problem on my 2005 Ford F150 5.4 Triton straight away. Be sure to remove any residue from the work area. The rubber bushings were not easy to remove. I used long needle pliers to pry them out. Also, you must be extremely careful not to use a T27 torx bit for the screw head! Use a Torx or T-Torx screwdriver instead as they don't come with captive screws like the OEM do. Take extra care to ensure the torx driver is snug against the screw head when installing the solenoid to avoid losing the screw in the camshaft. Finally, when installing the grommet, be sure to orient it properly and insert it into the correct size bushing. I used 22mm. This ensures that the bushing is seated evenly and securely.
