EGR Solenoid Removal + Replacement

I need to replace my EGR solenoid. I've took out the 3 vac lines and sensor. Then took out the 10mm screw from underneath it. Now i'm stuck, i don't know how to get the bracket the solenoid sits on off nor can I get the solenoid twisted off of the bracket since it looks like it screws in. Can anybody help? I can only really get one hand down there. Currently I just have my replacement solenoid plugged in and zip tied to the old one (ghetto)

The solenoid bracket has two screws that you need to remove. It has one below and one above the solenoid. Feel with your hand for the screw on the bracket above the solenoid. After you remove the two screws, you will be able to access the backside of the solenoid, which is attached to the bracket by a 10 or 12mm nut.
