HELP
I'm removing the turbo and cannot even see the tiny clip that is "so easy to lose" off the actuator rod. Can anyone give me some advise????????
Fear not! Brute force and ignorance has prevailed....I was looking for a much smaller clip on the end of the rod.
Thanks anyway.

You should be able to feel it with your finger. Robin had some good pics of it. I'll see if I can find them.

A Quote from 99-03 Turbo Removal & Wicked Wheel Installation .: Articles
On the left side of the turbo, under the exhaust valve is an actuator arm that extends form the pedestal to the EBPV. There is a small clip that has to be removed and the arm disconnected from the valve. Use a needlenose pliers to grab the clip and push to the drivers side of the truck to disengage. It should come off, hold onto it tight, it's a special clip found only at your Ford dealer
Can't find a picture of the actual clip. Still looking.

Hook it, I'll pull it.

Really all you need to do is slide the clip towards the drivers side and lift up on the rod. The little clip on the wastgate does not need to come off, it stays with the turbo. Only the EBPV rod needs to be decliped.
