Thank you for the replies.
I'm subscribed to
Alldatadiy.com for reference and am hoping that there is short cut to be found around the sub frame removal as its a 29 step juggernaut that happens to call the subframe removal a mere step.
As outlined from the manual for rear turbo removal:
step 7... subframe removal
step 29 (the last step): remove oil supply tube banjo bolt
Thanks for the manual link Zsho. It shows a slightly more condensed version of the same steps which I'm guessing doesn't take into account my tenacious slightly arthritic dexterity.
Im gonna give this more attention on Saturday and just skip the subframe step and see where that gets me.
Call me crazy if you know better.
Thanks again
