ATR DP Turbo Removal

[RRAEUBER]

Can anyone tell me what the combination is to get the turbo bolts out of the ATR Dp????
The weld on the DP is right on the bolt, and you can't get a socket on it, can't use a wrench cause it strips. And there is NO ROOM to get in around the wastegate. I didnt install them so I'm trying to figure this out. Do I need to take out the inner fender to get to the bolts? This is driving me CRAZY! Thanks for answering a stupid question!

I bought one of those racheting wrenches to remove mine.

What kind? Tha Crows foot (or whatever they call it) that is a wrench end that attaches to your ratchet, or the actual ratcheting wrench? Problem is it is too close to the pipe to get anything on it, and the bolt is pressed into the actual weld, so nothing can fully seat on it to get a good grip. Thanks!

Finally got that bolt out. Had to grind one side of my socket down, because of the weld. Once it was ground down a little, it fit right on there. Man WHAT A PAIN to get that turbo off!!!!
