so im in the process of replacing the turbo on my 95 7.3L. I was wondering if anyone has some tips. I got the bottom bolts out for the up pipes but I cant get the top ones to break free. Ive done this on 99+ 7.3s where you can get an impact on them from underneath the truck with some long extensions. I just cant get on them on this one and I cant get the downpipe out to get it out of the way. so any pointers would help out a lot.

 

Some P-B Blaster, a few cuse words, and expect to bust a knuckle..

 

I didn't take the uppipes off of mine. I had to loosen the passenger side bottom bolt on the uppipe so the exhaust flange would have enough room to fall back a little and be able to pull the turbo off the studs. but ya its kinda a pain to get them off the one back pedistal bolt you gotta feel for it and the other back one you gotta screw it up out as you bring the turbo up and out if you don't take the uppipe off, but then it goes back on pretty easy.
