fourbie saph turbo removal help urgent
ok the 2 front nuts i have got undone but the back 2 i cant get on
someone said if i remove the top alternator bracket i can get on the front nut is that right ?
how do i get on the rear nut tho at the back ? the exhaust downpipe is in the way
also how do i get the studs out of the back of the turbo that connect the exhaust to the turbo ? 
any help greatly appreciated

did i miss out the bits like , the exhaust housings are quick release ? and that teh oil fittings just unclip like a compressor hose ??
as for the rear bolts , ive never had any problems what so ever , i do however lock wire the front two just for saftey
and my turbo is off after every event , so say every 100miles i take it off strip it , check and rebuild what it needs
so i dont suffer from rusty seized bolts etc

Correct tools? Does that include a 9" grinder, air chisel, 5 foot prybar and 6' scafold extension, assorted hammers and chisels, hacksaw, mole grips, stilsons etc etc? 
Some Whitworth sockets just for good measure?
