Disconnect Battery, Remove the exhaust from the turbo, removed the bracket from the engine for the exhaust, removed the freeze plug on the far right rear of the engine. If you can unscrew it then do it but I use a air hammer to remove them ( it seems faster that way but effective ).. When you get that all done just go in the reverse way you removed it.. It might take you an hour to perform this job...
