You don't have to pull the clutch off to remove the bolts. You have to align the flat spot on the flange of the bolt head to slide them out with the flat against the clutch. If you look, there is a flat spot which is sitting against the tab on the bracket. It will help if you can get the sleeves to back off from the compressor housing. They are steel tubes in the back side of the aluminum bracket. It isn't super easy to make them slide backwards though.
I'm glad I asked, I had not even noticed the flat spots on the bolt head, I'll give it a go when I get home this evening. Thanks for the responses.
Got it thank you.
