1.

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.
