Those are a B!tch! You have to GENTLY pry 2 of the 4 prongs up so that you have play in the unit. I use a very small jeweler's cutter (shown) and gently pull them together. Once the cover plate is plated and you need to reinstall that solenoid, put it back in place and with a helper use a very small pin punch while resting the corner of the metal cage (be careful not to hit the windings) of the solenoid on a piece of steel and gently peen the little tabs back in place. You only get one shot at this as these can break very easily. After doing many of them I have had pretty good luck and seldom break them anymore.

Rick,
I know how busy you are and that your little secrets are hard earned. I am very appreciative of your insights. Having a pro weigh in on my amateur inquiries is a BIG positive. Another reason why THIS sYc site is just the best. THANKS Rick!
