Stuck midway, om602 turbo removal
Looks like a good point to call it a day. The winds a whipping the temperature is dropping and I'm running out of day light... And I happen to be stuck mid project here trying to replace the old leaking vacuum waste gate with a pressure waste gate.
It's my first time with this one so can any body help me out here? Every thing is loose I just can't wriggle the turbo off the studs and out because...  I can't pull it back far enough to get it off the oil drain tube and...  I can't pull it forward enough to clear the corrugated exhaust pipe Can anybody please help me with the order of operations here?? Thanks!!

no prior experience, but...
I found the turbo came out easily after I removed all the fasteners between flex and down pipe, including the support bracket. I also removed the oil line from the block as well. Was pleased not to break any bolts like I was expecting

Yeeaahh. I was looking at loosening the flange to the down pipe there and/or that mounting bracket on the back of the manifold there but I ran out of day. Plus, following the FSM, it says simply "remove flex pipe" so I was hoping not to have to remove any more fasteners. Thanks for the replies.

That was it. Pulled the last two nuts off that bracket on the back of the manifold and that gave me all the clearance i needed to get the turbo out. Job Done!
