You've got to have 25 posts before you're allowed to attach pics. Are you referring to the intake wheel in the turbo? It's not too bad a job. Make sure you get some o-rings for the pedestal. http://www.dieselsite.com/pdffiles/ww.pdf

Yes, you can do it without taking it off. Even without taking the housing loose from the waste gate. That's how I did it. You have to drop the exhaust down-pipe, wrap a long screwdriver with tape (I used duct tape), and stick it in the exhaust wheel blades. I actually used two screwdrivers, just in case. The exhaust wheel CAN be damaged, but it's pretty stout -- it takes a lot of force to do that. DO NOT use an impact wrench to take off the wheel. You'll be beating the tar out of the thrust bearing. The wheel will clear the housing without taking off the waste gate stuff, you just have to get it at the right angle.

Oh man... sorry to hear that. But what "inner splines" are you referring to? And not to rub salt in a wound, but for about $220 you can get a rebuild kit for the OEM turbo, an early-99/Wicked Wheel, and the pedestal o-rings and easily do it yourself in an afternoon.
