Others have pulled just the turbo from the manifold, but, I still cannot figure out how to access the four nuts..........a total PITA. My preference is to pull the manifolds and turbo together. That's relatively easy from the top..........however.........and this is the big issue..........there is a bracket that supports the turbo down beneath it. There is a nut at the top of the bracket and a nut at the bottom of the bracket. One of them must be removed. Neither of them are going to want to move. I'd bring a propane torch with some Mapp gas and some Kroil and pray that you can get one of them out without rounding the corners. I really struggled with the SD.
