Did you remove the orange boots on the spider also? If so, what's the best method, looks like a nightmare to get to.

Yeah, they leak too. Once you have the two side boots off of it, one hose (marmon v-style) clamp at the turbo compressor outlet, remove the junk off the front and it comes right out.

Hi, I loosened 2 upper and 2 lower boots, being careful not to ground anything out. then I just wiggled the Y back and forth and the Y slipped rite off. just set Y up on fuel filter and reached behind and pulled boots off, not bad at all. cleaned boots (4) off and reinstalled. Dave

It glues them down for a better seal.
