Unplug the two wires from the valve solenoid.
Remove the single screw holding the valve bracket in place, and slide the bracket to remove it.

Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. Watch for kinks in the supply or drain lines when pushing the dishwasher back under the counter. Be sure to check for leaks the first time you run it!
All said and done, it probably took me longer to type all this on my phone than to do the repair.
