Turbo nuts

Anyone discovered a tool or trick that makes removing the rear turbo nuts? (on stock twins). I don't even see how this is possible.

Big trick on turbos is removing the Y-pipe to get more room. ABS heat shield also helps to get out of the way.

Some you have to get from underneath. A quality 14mm combination wrench (a 12-point that is top quality) is a HUGE help.

You can remove the Y-pipe without removing the rear turbo outlet (which is where the nuts are)? I'll look at the ABS heat shield. I tried to remove it, but its not clear how to do that without removing the ABS pump.
