Undo with a 10mm socket or spanner the power steering reservoir bracket bolt. Move the power steering reservoir out of the way.

You may need to push down the power steering pipe to enable you to get at the "Barstool Bolt"

This is not the easiest job a little fiddley to say the least to do with a bolt that is not rounded off..... you maybe able to get a pair of grips onto the bolt now or the sell sockets for rounded off bolts in Machine Mart.

Hope that helps you
