I can see why you were vexed by that bracket - the rubber doodads are supposed to stay attached to the body! I presume they unscrewed from the body instead of the nuts coming off them? Its considerably easier when the nuts come off then the bracket just comes apart

RHD versions don't have the curly pipe so the hoses can be fed through from the engine bay, even without splitting the union.

Lol yes I tried taking the nuts off after the fact, but they just wouldn't come off. I guess 17 years was too long. Could have acetone+veggie oiled them, forgot about that.
I am glad you don't have the curly pipe, its such a pain.
