Default Glow plugs on 6.5ltd

What all do I need to take off to get to the glow plugs on the passengers side?
The drivers side glow plugs were a piece of cake, I can only barely see one glow plug on the passengers side, do I need to remove the turbo to get to the rest?
Thanks

you can probably get a better view of them if you remove the passenger side wheel well liner.

and maybe loosen a clamp on the turbo

Well I managed to get 2 of them off on the passanger side, that's gonna have to do. I ended up ripping out the wheel well to get to them.
It looks like I need to drop the headers to get to the next one but I'm not about to do that.

Negative, I did all mine without taking off the turbo, but I did take off the inner wheel well. If I were to do it again I do think I would take off the turbo to cause less headaches and to keep my hands in better shape.
