That bracket is in an awkward place in the wheel arch!

I needed and e14 female torx socket on a half meter extension bar on my socket wrench so that the socket wrench was out of the arch to give enough room to turn it.

Everything else is pretty straightforward removal of parts and refitting to new absorber.
