Bob, I did that just recently on a about 84 300D in a junk yard. It took about 2 hours. I took off the exhaust and intake to get the turbo off. Didn't have to take anything else big off. Still it wasn't too much fun.

I figured it had always been there, Nooooo. Accelerating up an on ramp giving it a bit of Italian tune up all of a sudden it starts sounding like a kid's bike with a playing card in the spokes. I checked under the hood and decided to limp it home. She was smoking pretty good but the oil level light stayed off and the pressure never budged of the high peg. I've had the head and exhaust manifold off as a unit before. My question is how hard is it to get the turbo R&R'd . Can it be done without removing othe large assemblies Bob D.
