I suspect the issue is that you can't get to the heads of the bolts easily. Here is a reasonably easy way to gain access:

1: lay a towel between the back of the cylinder head and firewall... to prevent scratching the paint.

2: Put a floor jack under the transmission cross member in the middle to support it.

3: Remove the two bolts on the trans cross member at both ends where they mount to the floor pan.

4: Gradually let the jack down and the rear of the trans will drop, when it doesn't drop any further, you now understand the reason for step 1.

5: Remove the solenoid, replace, do what you have to.

6: Crank the floor jack back up, line up the cross member and reinstall the bolts, remove towel... done.

ps. This is a great way to gain access to the upper starter bolt should you have the need in the future!
