You would've had the motor out already and probably be working on putting it back in.
Just suck it up and pull the motor. If you don't you are going to keep running into issues.
Some of the turbo coolant/oil lines WILL NOT be easy with the engine still in the car.

2nd- Can't imagine trying to get to some of those. Like the 8mm cap screws on the DS turbo...
with the motor on place.
Valiant effort for sure but I could have the front of the car apart and mostly ready for pull in about the same amount of time that I could get the DP's off.
