Default Head and Cam install, any tip for power steering bracket?

Are there any ways to make installation of the idler pulley/power steering fluid canister easier? This bracket has 4 bolts, 2 are easy to get to and 2 are a PITA. I was thinking that removing the idler pulley would make this easy. Anyone have any tips?
Phillip :cheers:

If I remember right I used a rachet wrench (boxed end of wrench ratchets) to get those two pita bolts. :cheers:

I usually remove the waterpump first so you can reach the outside one and I also remove the resovoir itself. Just get a turkey baster and take the fluid out and once thats out of the way you can get the the bolts pretty easily.. Call if you have any more questions. :seeya
