hard line removal on top of turbos
I am stuck on the hardlines that sit on top of the turbos. Is there a trick like removing the manifolds to get to these buggers? There is no room for tools. I'd take a picture but my camera is not here. thanks to anyone who can help.

i have like 3 sets of wrenchs, i had to use a combination of all of them to get them off
they are all different makes so some were thinner or different angles than others. Taking off the manifolds will make it alot easier to get to but it might make it flex too much to break the bolts free. Also try to remove the banjo bolt on the side first then go for the one on the outside top and then the inside top one.

get creative.
Either remove the exhaust manifold so that you can move the turbo around and get a crows foot on it. Or, find a 19mm gear wrench and grind it down a bit to fit in there.
If the motor is indeed out, you really shouldn't have any problems with it. No socket will get directly on it, so you just have to wing it with what you have.
