Question 02 TL won't shift out of park, not the Brake switch

We have an 02 TL, (original owners) and a couple of times lately it won't switch out of park so we release it manually when it acts up. The brake lights are working and the brake switch appears to be fine.No blown fuses either. We think it is the shift lock solenoid in the center console. I am having trouble finding directions or a Youtube video showing how to replace it. Any suggestions?

Here is what the FSM shows in how to test & replace:


It also appears they are readily available through Acura or Honda online parts vendors.
