Is all I need?
And you don't happen to have the Part numbers for the 4 o rings for the pedestal would ya.
Skip over steps #6 and #7 and proceed directly to step #8. One thing that was left out of step #9 is to remove the EBPV (Exhaust Back Pressure Valve) actuator arm from the EBPV housing by sliding back the sleeve and pull down to remove the ball from the socket. BTW, after breaking loose the rear bolt on the EBPV housing with a 5/16" combo wrench, I took an extra 8mm (same size) combo wrench and cut it in half, leaving it about 3" long. I then used this shortened box wrench to get the bolt the rest of the way out.
Disregard the last sentence in step #9 which states, "After disconnecting, slide the valve forward as far as it will go, so you can get behind the turbo." After completing step #9, place a block of wood against the EBPV housing and hit it firmly with a hammer. A couple of licks should do it. You should now be able to remove the EBPV housing. This will give you far greater access to the up pipe manifold bolts and nuts.
Perform steps #6 and #7 which you skipped over earlier.
I used the combination of tools specified in step #11 to remove the driver's side rear pedestal bolt. It was surprisingly easy, especially considering that I could neither see nor reach the bolt to place the socket by feel. Do however feel the back of the EBPV cylinder for the GROOVE, (not RIDGE as stated in the instructions.) Let your socket follow the groove down to the bolt and twist it back and forth until you feel the socket seat.
The passenger side rear pedestal bolt will now be easier to see and access since you have removed the EBPV housing. However, it's still a PITA because there is very little working room. I think that if you could find a 1/4" drive 10mm swivel socket, (which I cannot,) this job would be much easier. As it was, I used the some combination of tools as I did for the other rear bolt, until the bolt was out too far to use the socket any longer. Since my short fat fingers could not grip the bolt to turn it by hand, I then switched to a 10mm combo wrench and used the box end to further back the bolt out, since there was not enough room to fit the open end on the bolt. Then, when I no longer had room to slip the box end over the head of the bolt, I ground the sides down on an extra 10mm open end wrench to finish the task. A very tedious job that resulted in many small cuts, scrapes and bruises. Just that one bolt.

Assemble this contraption:
1/4" drive 10 mm socket
1/4" drive flex joint
1/4" to 3/8" adapter
3/8" wobble
3/8" extension — about 8" (I used two, a 3 & a 5, that gave me lots of options getting to hard places)
