Update...
That job was a real pain in the arse!
It wasn't too bad removing the bolts but trying to hold the part in the right position and start the uppermost bolt on its threads was a nightmare. Especially as you have to do it all with just one hand. I eventually took off the power steering pump pulley cover and that allowed me to just about get two hands (fingertips anyway) onto the bolt head to get it to bite in the hole.
Note to anyone planning to do this job; M8 x 1.25 x 25mm long flange head bolts won't fit in the two lower (blind) fixing holes as the thread is not deep enough. You will need to put 1.5 to 2mm thick washers under the heads. Obviously you only need to worry about this if the old bolts can't be re-used.
