    Question help deleting from a binary tree

    I have built a binary search tree but am really stuck with the delete function.

    My code so far is

    BSTreeADT removeItem(itemType item, BSTreeADT t)
    {
    if (isEmptyBSTree(t))
    return t;

    if (isEmptyBSTree(leftTree(t)))
    return rightTree(t);

    else if (isEmptyBSTree(rightTree(t)))
    return leftTree(t);

    else
    /* return new tree constructed with least value in rightTree(t) as root
    current leftTree(t)
    tree constructed by removing least value from rightTree(t)

    end if

    end if
    }

    please could someone point me in the right direction?
