Here is a good set of directions that Heatstroked sent me. I just had my turbo out a week ago - it's really not a bad job.

i just pulled my turbo this afternoon. i just came in from it, it took me 3.5 hours, stopping for lunch, etc. the hardest part was getting the clamp off that connects the turbo to the up-pipe collector. i just kept hitting it with a large prybar and hammer, it eventually popped off like a spring. i also tightened up the wastegate arm seat pressure some, along with replacing the o-rings except the internal ones in the KCM kit, that included new 10.9 bolts.
now i'm off to flush the tranny with amsoil synthetic and add an inline microfine filter.

Thanks guys you saved me again. Great info on the forum as always. Would you have you turbo rebuilt or buy a new one from ITP or some place else. Can you guys hook me up with KMCs web address, I have tried to look it up and can't find it! Thanks

the stock turbo is easily rebuildable. or you could buy a van turbo, and i could trade you turbos, and you could have a very nice stock turbo with WW!!

Thanks everyone and strokin_it7.3. I will see if I can pick up a van turbo in my area and I will get back to you. What do you gain with a stock turbo with a ww and how many miles on the one you want to trade? What condition do you want the van turbo in? Meaning do you just want me to find a used one? Thanks

Jones west ford told the boss man that his high pressure oil seals were out,which I have had replaced three times with only 40,000 miles under warranty.They also told him that his turbo was junk so we want to fix both.Jones west is way to much money.

Sorry my bosses truck is a F-250, 02 a different truck than mine. I think I said it wrong to make it sound like the same truck but we are talking about two different truck's. Mine is all good except for my trany. His is the one with the problem. Thank again!!

Given the appearant lack of caring at the dealership, you might want to fix the HPO leak and get it all cleaned up before you start a diagnosis on the turbo. No sense in throwing parts at it if you don't have to.
