I believe on the 2004 on the drivers side is 3 bolts on the power steering reservoir. Lay it to the side and there is the VCT. That's all I removed on my '06. I believe 2004-2006 is the same. If you are attempting this please watch several other videos to make sure I am right. When the solenoid is off to the side of the rubber seal, you do not have to remove the valve cover or anything more than take the reservoir off the bracket and carefully put it to the side. That is for the drivers side. There is nothing to remove on the passenger side. Hope this helps someone. Jesus bless.
If I have a bad VCT on my 2007 5.4, will it cause to shake slightly at a complete stop/park? I also have loss of power. Scanner says timing is off by a tooth or more but I have no severe issues or loud noises coming from the engine.
Thank You for explaining the power steering reservoir bracket.
You are welcome, Greg. Thanks for watching!

If you see the seal of the vct is not necessary to remove the whole cap,

Yes, the complaint on the 5.4 that I worked on was shaking, poor idle, and pour fuel economy.
You don't need to take off the valve cover just to replace the VVT Solenoid. The screw for the VVT is a T27.
What yr is it?
