Message: [QUOTE="speedracer1000, post: 155777, member: 2739"] [b]continued again..[/b] now its time to remove the hold down bridges as i call em.they look like this [img]http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5971/073erd.jpg[/img] just a 15mm bolt goin through the center and holds them turbos down. the front one isnt bad the one in the back you gotta get by feel. you cant see it. heres a pic of the where the one in the front was. [img]http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/9104/072ze.jpg[/img] you can go in from the front under the compressor housing to get it out. the one in the back you will just gotta kinda play around with till you get it. its hard to discribe how to do it. what might be comfortable for me might not be for someone else. i will say workin on this truck has put me in some of the most awkward positions ive ever been in lol, but anyways.. heres a few pics [img]http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3610/078xh.jpg[/img] [img]http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/421/079jj.jpg[/img] after that your pretty much ready to try and wiggle that thing up out of there. it only will really come out one way. first youll have to lift it straight up off the pins, tilt back a lil bit move towards the drivers side while raising that side and moving up and out dropping the one end, something like that... you get the idea youll figure it out.. it will come out. but only after the right combination of cuss words for several minutes will it finally give in . this is what it will look like in there removed.. both drain seals in the pic will need replaced. drivers side is just an o ring. the pass side is a special seal. be very careful not to b**** it up when you set the turbo back down in. i made that mistake. you cant really see it either, just use your best judgement pretty much. [img]http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/3892/076nj.jpg[/img] only replacement parts i used where 2 upper up pipe gaskets and one at the manifold(which i believe are the same) and 2 egr pipe gaskets, downpipe seal. both turbo drain seals, oil feed line o ring. and i used new bolts for the up pipe and neversiezed everything when i put it back together. thats pretty much it. just reverse the process to put it back together. if anyone has any questions feel free to send me a pm ill help ya any way i can. have fun ;) [/QUOTE]
