Each car will be different. I had two cars that I could pull the vanos right out. I had one car that I had to do the contortionist trick, and two that we cut the threads. You can jack the engine up also if you want to go that far.
Because the nuts on the vanos are non-nylock nuts, you need to keep a minimum of three threads exposed. Cutting off three threads still leaves you with five threads exposed. It's not a elegant solution but it does work and saves time.
