Volvo l120e shift solenoid plugs

2006 l120e So thanks to a great thread here, i was able to find my transmission shift solenoids, of which 2nd seems to be shot. I got it all pulled out of the rexroth valvebody easy enough (some cussing involved). But... i could not for the life of me figure out how to get the solenoid unplugged from the "rail". Does anybody have a suggestion on how to do that? Please explain it like i am a 5th grader, even though i didnt graduate 5th grade. I can barely see it, cant reach it, or find a way to pull it out. Thanks in advance. Also recieved the replacement today, plug was smashed and wires pulled out of solenoid, i assume thats wrong, so will be trying that order again tomorrow. I am about 300 miles north of bfe, literally in the middle of nowhere.

    Was able to get it swapped. Right rear fender off (4 bolts). Front right engine panel (2 bolts under the hydraulic fill door), pry bar to get it off (rubber seals hold tight). Right engine panel under flip-up door (2 bolts). It shed a little light on the 6 plug harness, they were still a bearcat to get at. Looks to me like, from rear to front, 3F, 4C, 6A (letters correspond to Rexroth block on transmission).
