Ok so I am reasonably proficient when it comes to vehicle mechanics but today was a nightmare
![rolleye :rolleye:](https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/Smileys/newsmileys/rolleye.gif)
I followed the guide here and got the cover off really easily (think I have got the knack of this now). I started with the pump making sure I de-pressurised and then removed the first connection. I promptly then dropped the washer into the engine bay

After 30mins of jacking up the car and taking the splash guard off I resumed the job

The "how to" that was recently posted only shows one metal and one rubber hose.
If you have two metal hoses its a bit more tricky
Access to the pipes is VERY limited!

The metal hose is a banjo joint which needs a 17mm spanner thin enough to get in (or thats what I thought). My spanner would not fit so I set about bodging a tool to fit. 20 mins on the bench grinder and it fits.

So I begin to remove the nut (getting dark now can't see as well) and the pipe appears to be bending

I have now hooked up a light and can see I need a star shaped tool for the bottom of the banjo bolt.
Anyone know what this is and what size I need? Looks like a T50????

What you are looking at here is a mirror reflection under the bolt.
Help!
