So I cracked another y pipe at the flex bellow and broke down and bought the hd stainless braided ones. Anyone have any tips on getting the turbo and y pipe out? I know its only 3 bolts for the turbo but the back ones may be a pita! Any advice or tips would be helpful.

 

First, nice truck! . . I would find a friend with real small hands and get them to help! A set of 1/4 in swivels, 12 point and some good sockets seem to help . Snap on makes a turbo wrench that helps. . . . Was wondering if anyone has tried the sinister ss kit with slip joints instead of the bellows? It's not cheap but if it solves the problem . . .

 

For the first time it's quite a chore. I removed both wheel well liners to help with the up-pipe removal. The turbo removal was the same way, just do it and it gets easier. I had my y-pipes modded locally using heavy duty bellows and a made into a solid Y.

 

hey man! nice truck, anyways I know if you take out the wheel liners, you are looking right at it. might help if you didn't know, cheers
