Removing Turbo, EGR, and ICP from 2004 6.0L
Hi,
Hoping I may get some help/advice removing my Turbo, ICP sensor, and EGV Valve, Turbo first.
I removed all the "cool" air tubes to compressor.
I have removed the Margon clips on the Turbo exhaust and inlet, I loosened the one behind the engins to the manifold, and both manifold exhaust connections from the Y pipe underneath.
I followed instructions from a file 303-04D-1 I found online in another forum.
I removed the Sensor clip from the VGT, air tubes, and oil supply tube.
I got the front bolts to the Turbo out 3 PM Thursday, and the rear #^&%@ bolt out about 10 PM Friday night after buying more tools. I really suggest using a six sided combo wrench on them bolts before thay are rounded.
Right now I think I am ready to move the turbo so I can remove the oil return tube underneath.
I can wobble it a little, but the exhaust pipes seem heavy on it and I am not sure what or how much I should wiggle hear. Do I need to pry anything? use a spacer to hold the weight of the pipes? or maybe I need to loosen the pipes more.
Any hints of signs I am looking for will be greatly appreciated. How do I proceed to remove the turbo from here without doing damage.
Update EDIT !
Well I got it out. Had to put braces under pipes to hold weight off the turbo. Oil drain tube still in as could not get it out.
Finally got turbo apart as per steps from another forum. Mine looks good. Only light cover of black loose soot. I wiped it with a dry cloth and while the metal is not bright, it is bare metal with no carbon, oil, or pitting. I thinks I got ripped !
I will go ahead and use brakeclean to wipe it down but I dont think I will even need a scotchbrite pad to clean it.
Next my ICP sensor. I can see it with a light and mirror. It looks dry to me but I got a new one so may as well put in in. May be another rip.
Thanks,
Mesu
