Last time the car was in the garage I was told there was loads of play in the shaft so gonna give it to wilky of here to rebuild but what's involved in removing it as I've never taken 1 of before it's a t34 on a zvh if this helps

 

Is it on a rsturbo manifold?

If so I'd personally whip the manifold off as its much easier with it off, manifold off is a ten minute job

Take the oil feed pipe off the top of the turbo, oil drain back off the bottom, boost pipes and exhaust down pipe off

Then the 8nuts that hold the manifold on and you will be able to lift the lot off the engine and out the front.

When you get the turbo and manifold off then you can undo the four nuts holding the turbo on the manifold

Dead easy fella

 

as above, makes the most sense.
done it that way everytime.

 

Ok cheers guys will give It a go the weekend is there anything I can do to reduce the chance of bolts/studs snapping as when I tried removing a manifold years ago I remember that 2 of the studs snapped saying that manifold was removed 2 weeks agoBy the garage

 

They don't normally give much problem, could use penetrating oil and let it soak in.
