Message I HAD to buy a Matco 13mm full length to get the bolts off the turbo to manifold studs. Matco puts a special cut in their wrenches that helps you get a better grip than the craftsman wrenches. If you put the front of the car on ramps you can see what needs to be done from under the car. Hardest part for me was threading the oil tubes back on. You won't be able to use a torque wrench so you better hope your good'N'tight meter is accurate.

Good luck be patient and take your time so you don't round off any bolts. There really is no tech on this because it is exponentially better to pull the engine. I understand what it's like not to have access to an engine hoist. I live in a small hick town where you can't rent tools/equipment. I got lucky, the last TTZ I bought came with a brand new cherry picker.
