Mike you can pry underneath the pedestal pretty easy...

I'm going to get the up pipes loose at the manifolds and see if that gets me enough play to separate the vgt and atmo. What's your opinions on that, also may get me a better angle on those bolts once I lift everything off.

Don't even bother. If it's as bad as you say, pull the trans, or cab, and do it right if you can't get the bolts out with the space you have now.

Wayne you act as if you might have done a turbo install before

Why are you removing the VGT again?

Because the linkage going into it broke as I was moving the actuator out of the way.

Break the bolt heads off and extract them once the turbos on the bench. Done that lots.

How would you break them, dont see how you could get anything back there.

I thought you said it broke on the actuator side?

Nope turbo side, can you get the atmo off with the vgt still attached to the up pipes? I'm messing with it again, it sucks because I can get on them soo easy now, just can't get them to come loose.

I have them starting to separate, and I got that little piece out of the vgt.

You can't pull the exhaust housing of the atmo without removing the hp turbo since the up pipes don't allow enough movement, although if you disconnect the up pipes from the manifold you may get just enough room to get it out.

N/M... I was thinking of HP turbos

Yes you can swap the atmo turbo out with leaving th eexhaust housing in but do the turbo vendors void the warranty if you do that?. He needs the HP turbo out so he can replace the VGT actuator arm that is broken too.

I'm kinda on hold at the moment again, hoping to get some one who knows what's going on here Monday or Tuesday to give me a hand. Really been a crappy birthday now with a broke truck.

what you need help with buddy. We are here to help. Post pics of whats going on and we can guide you through it.
I was just wondering why the vgt was ever even trying to be removed, i see why now.
I always have good luck with snap on 10mm 3/8 drive 6pt impact wobble sockets for the lower bolts and a 3-4 inch extension, you have to be carefull that the socket is all the way on, but thats how i always do it, i also have a good long handled flex head snap on ratchet that works well for leverage.
