This bolt has always been an E10 in my experience

I usually get at it with an 8mm ring spanner

Failing that, unclip the PAS reservoir, hold it out the way, and it's possible (but fiddle) to get a socket on it

Transfer pipe comes out with a wiggle, with the aid of some plumbing grips...

Totally willing to help, but today's broken hand might make it a bit tricky  :-/

So how am I going to do this - will I need help?

THis is the coolant pipe bolt by the power steering pump

Ive never had a problem refitting this bolt, after struggling to remove it on my first Omega I used a Mark to refit it, used this method ever since. ;D

Be warned. The use of a Mark is highly recommended, but it does come with risks....

It is really only recommended to be used on Vauxhalls.
Use on other makes usually results in strange noises.
WARNING! DO NOT USE ON FRENCH CARS!!  :o

Use of a Mark is addictive!
This is not a good thing as your own level of knowledge tends to stagnate.
However it does give your hands an opportunity to heal! ;)

Over use of a Mark can result in the appearance of a very dangerous creature...
Unhappy Mrs Marks DTM!  :o
This creature has a fearsome reputation and should not be approached!
There currently is no known way of placating and a hasty exit should be made at this point!  ;)

You know I'm fairly sure I just popped that bolt off an engine at the scrappy in order to get the exhaust manifold off. Dead easy with the engine out........ ;)

There is a known way of placating it......but its VERY expensive and involves long walks around local city centres.....
