bad bolt
having trouble getting the rear bolt out. this is the one holding the turbo in place.
any help? tricks that work?
doing a bullet proofing. (egr cooler, outside the motor oil cooler) so turbo needs to come out.
the front rt bolt was not even there. so i guess this turbo has been replaced? worked over?
the other two bolts came out no problem.

i have a 06 year so not my bolt.
mine is in the vertical. just having trouble keeping a socket on it. as the extension allows the socket to "tilt" off the bolt head.
i did here it "crack" once (all others did crack twice?) so started to come loose but not enough to remove it.
going back at it this am, working outside so need sunlight to see anything. plus it is getting cold at night right now.

tried anew today and got it out, found the third bolt under the turbo mount.
sorry i should have given a better description in the threads first posting.
forgive me i am old, and was tired.
intake is off now (taking my time), gunky (wet) black **** in the intake block runners.
not looked into the intake manifold yet. egr valve was clean & shinny.
but time for lunch. and go get more cans of cleaner. maybe i should burn a half day (65 miles from here one way) and go buy a solvent tank at el-cheapo tools. or a large oil drain pan --still sell them? and couple-four gallons of solvent? (can do nothing thur-sunday --work).
