Red face 500E: Making PS hose progress...still some ?'s

Many thanks for the work instructions! I am stuck at #7. "Loosen and remove connecting pipe (30m, Figure 3) and aluminum washer". This appears to be about an 11 or 12mm allen key. I only have up to 10mm, so if I'm on the right track, I'm good. This is actually removing the pipe from what was the inside of the resovoir. Yes? I think I'll also need the correct seals to replace everything - don't want to do this again. Is there a seal kit or specific part numbers noted for this repair?
I have not figured out why it is necessary to get the bracket loose from the valve head. According to #3. "Unscrew 2 bolts (not shown) from the side of the reservoir, fastening the bracket supporting the reservoir to the cylinder head." I removed one allen bolt and a second that goes from the back of the valve head towards the front securing said braket, but I achieved no bracket movement. Any advice welcome.
