I didn't remove any bolts on the bracket. I bent the bracket away from the back of the engine to get the valve cover off (to do the spring swap) but did not remove any screws. The valve you are talking about - I don't know its technical name - slides down into the bracket from the top - if you pull straight up on it it should pop off. There is not much room to work with in there is there?
Surely there is someone here with a more technical way to describe this - I am just offering "moral support" because I had no idea what I was doing - I just stumbled my way through - but all is well and there is nothing like the feeeling of doing it yourself!

Why not just remove the bolts on the bracket? I need to pull mine off. And what casey says is true it just slides up. Mine has play in it and it can move up and down. If I give it a good pull it should pop out.
