Default Power Steering Resevoir

is there a step by step on removal of the powers steering resevoir on a GC? I have a 06 with the typical grinding. thought i would repalce resevoir first before pump. Got everything off. bu does it sit on a bolt or do you have to remove bolt from the bottom? Cant seem to get it lifted upwward. Any suggestions?

There is a 10mm bolt on the bottom that you loosen but don't have to remove.

This may help...

Default Tubes

The tubes that feed in and out of the reservoir are a ($%$^ to get off. I plan to change mine soon. Question, any suggestions on methods of making it easier, if possible?

Thanks for the Video. Yes 10mm on the back side and it lifted right off. I found it to take the return line(smaller) hose off, remove two top bolts, back bolt. Lift out and then remove the larger hose. He larger hose is very difficult to remove. I used screwdriver to pry off. New one went one without a hitch.
