The only usable access point is also shown, as is the location of the bolt from underneath the car.

The underneath of the compressor is also the best way to get tools to the rear bolt, but it is very limited with the engine mount centimetres from the compressor.

Day 7 and the bolt is still not out
I think it may be more helpful if you pin-point in the pics the bolt locations you're referring to.
