Hopefully you have removed the necessary components to access the vvt solenoid so it can be removed ? It must be stuck in the cylinder head bore since you’ve broken it while attempting to remove. 2+2 carburetor cleaner sprayed liberally around the remainder of the vvt solenoid then using channel lock pliers to twist it back and forth should free it up so it can be removed. Repeat this step as needed until it turns inside the cylinder head then it will come out.. Good luck!
Berkebile 2+2 carb cleaner is highly recommended ... Available at most parts stores. Use the provided red straw to apply the cleaner - keep twisting solenoid back & forth. You’ll get the solenoid to come out!!
