D2 Transfer Case High to Low Solenoid Removal - Too Many Obstacles

D2 Transfer Case High to Low Solenoid Removal - Update
Trying to remove the High-N-Low transfer box solenoid seems to be impossible. There are a slew of wires, tubing, and electrical connections surrounding the already-hard-access solenoid. Any advice? See picture. This is a 99 D2 with diff lock installed.

The TC has the D1 linkage for the diff lock - which works fine.

Luckily, who ever added the diff lock replaced the rivets with screws. I have removed that plate, but it just seems like it is impossible to access the solenoid cover with all the wire harnesses and cabling in the way.

Holy cow. I got the solenoid out. Every post about this being a PITA job is spot on. After removal (haven't put things back together), I did some bench testing of the solenoid. It would not retract with 12 volts, but it would hold a retracted position when depressing it. Pretty certain this was the point of failure.
For what it's worth, I removed the electrical board (and the D2 high/low shifter-cable plate) for better access. The two driver's side bolts were accessed from above. The two passenger side bolts were from below.
I'm hoping I didn't knock anything unintended loose in the process.
