Zip tie the PS line out of your way. Remove the PS line bracket as well. One 10mm bolt. Also detach the cruise control unit in the upper left and move it out of the way. Two 10mm fastners

Here's your target. Place a towel under the solenoid to catch oil when its removed. Disconnect everything attached to the solenoid. I also detached a crank sensor, and the oil pressure sensor under the solenoid. Notice the wire tie on the right is not accessible from above. I didn't remove the heat shield, instead I cut the tie and replaced it with a  zip tie after

Schematics are good. Unfortunately mine has no torque specs for the solenoid bolts. The RSX vtec solenoid calls for 7.2ft/lb or 86.4in/lb. I used this spec for mine.

Remove the bolts and pull off the solenoid. My filter looks very healthy. I just wasted $8 on a new filter. Clearly a clogged filter wasn't the cause of the CEL.

Cleaned the solenoid and installed the new filter. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Crawl inside the trunk and close the hatch. Find where the hatch and switch make contact. Mark the location. Drill a hole and insert a screw in the hole. I used a 1/2 inch long panel screw from a junkyard Honda.

Locate the light switch inside the glovebox. Wet the contact point on the switch with a dab of petrolium jelly. Close the glovebox fully (push in on it). Open the glovebox. Find where the petroleum jelly made contact with the lid. Drill a hole there and insert a screw.  I used a 1/8 inch panel screw from a junkyard Honda.

These bushings hold the relief spring. One failed entirely, the other is cracked

I found a tube that fit nicely into the spring mounting hole. I stepped down the inner diameter with an aluminum 1/8" tube so it would mate with the spring
