I did mine the PITA way and removed the pump bracket and left the reservoir attached. It is all straight forward. Just takes lots of patience and time and some cursing. Lol.. the older you are the more of a bitch it can be. If I had to do it a second time I could do the swap over 2 days now.

I've always done as others have suggested here. There is one bolt that directly interferes with the PS pulley. However, there are only 3 bolts holding the PS pump to the bracket and they are fairly easy to remove. I wonder if removing those (3) 13mm bolts and leaving the PS pump's hydraulic line connected is enough to get better access to the last bracket bolt.
I'll accept being the JW, but.......
The bolts you are referring to are 8mm, the head size is 13mm. The head size is not the indicator of the fastener size.
Mostly, but not always....
10mm head 6mm bolt
13mm head 8mm bolt
15mm head 10mm bolt
Then you have pitch which is fine or coarse threads. Then if you have a heavy duty nut or bolt this may impact wrench size again.
No offence intended, just trying to clarify terms.
