Solenoid Rack Removal
I'm ready to start my silicon hose conversion and I'm having an hard time to remove the solenoid rack.
I was able to remove 2 philips screws and 2 bolts and it's still not moving.
What's next? What do I have to remove to get this thing off?
Here's a picture (sorry for the poor quality)
Thanks again !

I'm not sure which bolts you're refering to, but if I remember correctly, there four phillips screws that need to be removed. There are two facing the front of the car, and two facing the fire wall. There are also three or four phillips screws on top of the rack that do not need to be removed.
Do a search for more details. This has been discussed MANY times before.

just a little tip relocate the coil packs or at least take them out for now it will give you more space. also the screws on my car just stripped. so i took a drill and drilled them out... but then again i ripped the whole thing out beacuse i am going single.... be careful beacuse the solenoid connectors are plastic and will snap with ease.....

JUST A TIP
when you are getting the old hose off the plastic sol. take long needle nose plyers and twist side to side very easy and break the seal if that does not work then cut it with a very sharp blade but side to side always works for me!!! good luck and have fun

Relocate the coils, remove the 2 screws on the firewall side, make sure you put a lot of pressure or you'll be stripping it. Remove the alternator and you'll have access to the front screws, then just unplug the hoses, harnesses and pull out your rack carefully.

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but the easiest way to remove the solenoid rack, is to remove the coils. If you pull the coils (3 10mm nuts I believe) you can get to the 3 10 or 12mm bolts that are holding the solenoid rack in place, as well as the hard coolant and fuel lines. Once you have these bolts out you can bend the entire rack up, then it's real easy to get to the screws on the solenoid rack so you don't strip them, and you don't have to pull the alternator out either. when you in there make sure you go over your fuel pulsation dampner and your leading injectors and check for leaks. Since I was in there I replaced my dampner, and had the injectors cleaned and balanced by RC engineering. Also I had a small leak in one of the rubber diffusers, so I changed those as well. Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.

another tip for removing a rounded screw, if you dont feel like drilling it out.. take a dremel cutting wheel (preferrably as thin as possible) to it and cut a straight line across the entire screw deep enough so that you can insert a flat-head screwdriver and remove it properly.
another tip, if you dont have a ratchet/bit set.. use one of those stubby little screwdrivers and some knuckle action to twist those screws out.
