Loose stud on OP Shut-Off Solenoid

[2kflhr]

I noticed one of the studs is loose on the shut-off solenoid. Would finding a used one be wise? I just sent off my SC for rebuild so I hate to drop a couple of bills on a new solenoid.

BTW, I saw a couple on eBay and several of just the solenoid with plunger and several with what appeared to be the whole unit. Now I wonder what is involved in changing it out? Do you have to disconnect the plunger below the solenoid?

Thanks fin advance for any suggestions and tips.

its not too bad to rebuild except for the small C/E clips
if the valve does not work you can get a error code or blow oil out of the dip-stick/ valve cover
the solenoid shaft has two disc that close off the vent and if I remember you will need to remove the oil separator to get to the bottom disk on the solenoid.

Thanks for the replies. So i will need to pull the oil separator assembly to get to the bottom disc. I must admit I was brushing around the terminals with a small wire toothbrush cleaning off some corrosion while also cleaning my battery terminals and it may been close to breaking free and I helped it along. I was wondering if it could be disassembled and the coil lead soldered back to the stud/bolt.
