So I've been searching the forms and have yet to locate the info I need. What is the trick to remove the upper right bolt? :furious: I'm beginning to think I could R&R the engine faster. Thanks

Hmm, I just did this job last fall and don't recall it being a problem. Is step 16 where your stuck?

3. Disconnect the MAF and Inlet air pressure sensors wiring harness connectors, disconnect the air outlet duct from
the turbocharger, and remove air cleaner assembly (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/AIR INTAKE SYSTEM/AIR CLEANER
HOUSING - REMOVAL).
4. Remove charge air cooler inlet hose from turbocharger (Refer to 11 - EXHAUST SYSTEM/TURBOCHARGER
SYSTEM/CHARGE AIR COOLER AND PLUMBING - REMOVAL).
5. Drain cooling system.
6. Remove coolant recovery pressure container (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/COOLANT RECOVERY PRESS
CONTAINER - REMOVAL).
7. Disconnect the turbocharger actuator vacuum hose and position aside.
8. Remove turbocharger upper heat shield.
9. Raise and support the vehicle.
10. Remove the lower splash shield.
11. Disconnect the front exhaust pipe from the turbocharger.
12. Remove the turbocharger support bracket.

Yes. I got the three bolts off. Do you get at the fourth from the top or bottom? What combination of tools are needed?

Thanks

I think I used a 3/8 universal and an extension. I might have used a 1/4 inch deep socket and a 1/4 to 3/8 adapter. I don't recall exactly but I do remember coming up with some weird combination to get a socket on it.

I searched thru my photos and found an image of what I used. I don't have anyway to upload it, but a description should suffice.

1/4 inch drive, two 8 inch extensions and a 4 inch extension with a 1/4 inch universal joint and socket.

I’ve done all of them from the top. I use a 3/8” deep socket with a 3/8” 4” long extension. Haven’t ever had issue
