As a precaution, disconnect the
ground of the battery (if there is more
than one battery, disconnect both
grounds).
2.
Raise the front of the vehicle and
support it with properly weight rated
safety stands or a commercial hoist.
Follow the manufacturer’s safety
precautions. Take care to support the
vehicle to prevent it from slipping or
falling. Place the transmission in park;
set the parking brake and place blocks
behind the rear wheels.
3.
Remove the front passenger side
wheel and the wheel well splash
shield.
If equipped, detach the ABS wire that
is clipped on the passenger side splash
shield before completely removing the
shield to avoid damage to the wire.
4.
Remove the exhaust elbow that
is attached to the turbo outlet by
loosening the V-clamps and slide them
off the lip. Spray with penetrating
lubricant to ease removal (Figure 4).
Note: It may be necessary to loosen
or remove the exhaust support from
the transmission to provide extra
clearance.
Push the exhaust pipe to the rear
of the vehicle slightly to allow the
elbow to be removed. Slide the elbow
towards the rear of the vehicle to
allow the alignment pins in the turbo
to come free.
If the elbow doesn’t come lose, then it
may be necessary to break it lose from
the alignment pins. Wear appropriate
eye protection and firmly strike the
elbow with a hammer or light sledge
hammer.
Note: Retain the factory V-clamps for
use later. the alignment pins will have
to be removed or broken lose from the
turbo’s outlet flange. Make sure the
turbo’s outlet flange surface is flat so
that it doesn’t interfere with proper
exhaust sealing.
