6. First make a note of how the wires are connected to the solenoid
valve terminals, and then remove the wires from the terminals.
NOTE:
It is always recommended to label and tag all wires, wire
connectors, and harnesses prior to disconnecting them, so as to
correctly identify their connections/locations when reassembling.
Alternatively, you can photograph the wire connections prior to
disconnecting (for example, with your mobile phone).

7. Rotate the solenoid valve counter-clockwise until the large hex nut
on the solenoid detaches from the XLO valve (see Figure 47). Be
careful so the plastic O ring inside the large hex nut does not fall
out (see Figure 45, page 37).
8. Replace solenoid valve if needed.
Gas Leaks
With electrical power off, carefully check for gas leaks at each gas
component that was removed, replaced, or otherwise serviced using a
gas leak detector (electronic leak detectors are highly recommended)
or bubble test.
