We'll do email if it comes to that, but for the benefit of others that may run across this in the future, you're talking about grinding out the 2 rivets here
After you do that and remove the circle shaped flapper and the rod it attaches to, you'll end up with this
Then you're left with a hole on top and bottom where the shaft came out of. Many just use a freeze plug on both holes to seal it up like this
Does that help, or do you still have questions?

Since you're a supporter, why not just attach them? Hit either the post reply button or the go advanced button and type a few words into the box. Then scroll down past where it says submit reply and look for a button that says Manage attachments. Click that and it should give you a pop up window that will let you attach the pdf file to the thread. (pictures can be attached the same way)

The attachment works fine. It looks like you're only removing the flapper valve. Are you going to delete the guts and plug the turbo pedestal too, or just remove the flapper shown in your attachment?
You don't have to pull the turbo or pedestal for what you're showing there so the o-rings shouldn't be needed. The advantage of plugging the pedestal is to prevent future oil leaks from around the shaft, but unplugging the EBP solenoid at the base of the pedestal should have the same effect.

The gut's he is refering too are in the pedestal.
Its a turbo weak point if it leaks.
You take the parts out inside and plug the actuator rod hole, or you cut it off and weld it up, or you buy a pedestal that was cast without the actuator cylinder on it.
The spring inside gets weak and doesn't keep the hole sealed up. This allows oil to come out though the actuator rod hole.

Like William, I mean Kieth Stone said, I was talking about the stuff inside the pedestal.
The rod that you're removing comes out the bottom of the housing and attaches to an actuator rod that goes inside the trubo pedestal.
Most delete the guts inside the pedestal at the same time, which is why it was suggested to get new o-rings for the pedestal.
