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.

This worked well for me.
Used 1/4” drive 10” wobble extension with 10mm socket.
