Undo the 3 bolts holding the power steering reservoir and move it to the side. Undo the hose clamp, access is tricky, I removed the engine cover and fed in a long flat bladed screwdriver from the right hand side (looking at the engine from the front of the car). Pull off the hose. Use a parallel pin punch or screwdriver to press on the ball in the inlet fitting. You should feel it moving back and forth with a spring behind it.

Hi Matt,
I will give this a go later today and see if it helps.
Regards
