I'm going through the same hell currently trying to replace AOS (for a second time since 2017).

I read online where the poster said he pushed coolant res as far to front of car as possible then took out the black holder in place piece. That gave enough top clearance. Actually, I believe he took out the right side bolt/screw for the black holder thing, loosened the left bolt and rotated the piece.

My issue is I started taking the res out and got it stuck. I stopped and left it for a couple of days. To resume this afternoon.
