Just remove the power steering pipes and an rubberattachment/bracket to the
gearbox, or what you call in in english, then it goes off.
Remember to empty the engine oil first.

On a right hand drive car you need to remove the powersteering pipes
completely on a left hand you only loosen whats holding them.
