Update:
Replaced all four VVT oil control solenoids last week.
Remove the air cleaner assembly.
Unplug the connector from the solenoid body.
Remove two bolts from each side.
Pull the old solenoid straight out.
Transfer the plastic spacer from the old part to the new one.
Install a new O-ring on top of the spacer.
Insert the new solenoid.
Reinstall the two bolts. (Added some anti-seize compound to the threads of each bolt first.)
Torque to specification of 57 inch-pounds.
Reconnect plug to new solenoid body.
Repeat procedure for the three remaining solenoids.
Reinstall air cleaner assembly.
I had one of the solenoids leaking oil out of its electrical connector, so that one connector got some electrical parts cleaner sprayed into it before I reconnected it. No more leaks and peace of mind of a job well done.
