No reason to pulll the turbo to replace donuts.

Don't have to but makes the working area easier.

if you have a lift, or access to one, the easiest way is just jerk the tranny, thatway, you can get at the whole mess and do a good job....

and if you don't, it's a complete PITAZZ

I pulled the turbo , did pipes, and installed in way less time than it takes to pull a trans I thought..4-5 hours or so. I also have 250ft of extensions and a friend to come help

4-5 hours ? ...LOL it only took my guy about 3 hours...without pullin' the trans..

least that's what he charged me for 3 hours....but he's young and a pretty good hand..... it would have taken longer to jerk the trans out, but it's a lot easier to do......

If the book says three hours, you pay for three hours. If it takes ten hours or twenty minutes, you still pay for three hours.

Good for your guy. Guess what I paid to have my uppies done ... $0.

Easy Peazy if the transmission is out.

Ratchet wrenches helped me a lot too, but I installed bellowed up pipes

I hate pulling the trans on my truck. 2 driveshafts, tcase, crossmember then all the bolts holding it to the engine. I would much rather fiddle around it than pull it.

4WD does make it more time consuming. Working on the ground with the front wheels on ramps, I have had mine out in less than an hour before.
