Mike,

I have an 87 Quadrifoglio and verified my VVT solenoid does not work when a 9v battery is attached to the spade terminals. I removed it and took off the black plastic end cap just like your original picture. How did you remove the big pin? I tried grabbing mine with pliers, but it won't budge.

Thanks very much Dom. I was able to get the big pin out using your instructions. Once I cleaned it up, I was able to verify the solenoid works with a 9v battery. I will install it in my car tomorrow.
