Need help please!

I started tearing down the engine today and for some reason can't get turbo off. It is loose but the exhaust will not come loose from it. the clamps are loose but just can't get them off. Is there some trick to it? Thanks

Sorry---didn't see it until now. If you're referring to the sectioned clamp on the back of the turbo I usually pop them off starting at the split and work my way around. They can be difficult to remove as well as intall.

arp studs, coolant filter, BPD erg cooler, new oil cooler, new radiator, new heater core, I already have the updated turbo oil feed and drain tube, all new hoses, belt, 6.4 banjo bolts, blue spring, Cat ELC, new oil and fuel filters. My delta was 21* and I had puking out my degas bottle with my 15k toy hauler so I decided to do the works. I am having the works done to my heads as well.
