Hard to get what you mean from that huuuuuuuuuge sentence lol but I think what you are talking about needs you to remove the pulley from the powersteering pump. Then you'll have room to get the bolt, remove the pump then remove the brackets.

No special tools needed, all bracketry needs to go, take the alternator and pump out before all brackets and jobs a good'un

No leave the pump connected, its 3 bolts 2 top 1 bottom as far as I remember. 2 behind pulley(which needs to come off) 1 on the right as you look at it. I'm also guessing you dont know that the pump needs some work to fit the cup brackets.

Either the cup high pressure line = £200 or you need to get custom.

Lol its not happening tonight by the sounds of it
