Default How do I replace my Scion xA car's solenoid?

How do I replace my Scion xA car's solenoid? I can't figure out how to remove it. I can see the heads of two Philips-headed screws on the solenoid, but I can't get them to turn. I'm having difficulty imagining that the
two screws hold the solenoid on. They seem there just to hold a cap onto one end of the solenoid. I've been searching for YouTube videos about how to remove a Scion solenoid, but I've been unable to find any such video.

Please help.

use one of these to apply sufficient torque without stripping head

NOTE: This tool can be set to tighten OR loosen. Be sure it spins in proper direction before hammering!!

Apparently the scion life site has removed parts of the URL you gave me. When I click on it I'm sent to a main page of the site. What is the tool called by the web site?
