Cool HELP:Replacing Water Jacket O-Rings/LIM Gasket

Thank you all for helping out a couple days ago.

I am trying to replace the water-jacket o-rings and LIM gasket for my TII. Do I have to take the turbo off to get to the 2 bolts on the bottom of the LIM? (it's stock) I already got 4 bolts off, just those 2 that are impossible to get to. I tried U-joint sockets, there is not enough room to even get in there.....so is there an easy way out?

anything else I'll need to watch out for?

thinking about doing a write up after I finish, lots people lost their motor because of the failure of the o-rings.


thanks

I used page 1-24, section 1 - page 24, Disassembly (Turbo) in the FSM. It's just a picture, but it made sense to me. Go by the picture and stay organized. You shouldn't have a problem.

I had to do that twice bucause my O ring slipped and it leaked spray your turbo bolts with ALOT of penitraitng oil, and let it soak over night.

It really isnt that bad.
Oh and spray the heat sheild bolts too.
