Cant fit a wrench in here... help


Hi there,
So im trying to tighten a -6an coolant line on my EF4 turbo, and I cant fit any wrenches between the comp and turbine housing on the turbo. Anyone run into this issue before, and anyone know a way to sneak in there with another tool or device?
Thanks
Tanner

compressor housing needs to be removed prior to installation . impossible to do on the car. of you remove the housing basically comes down to un fastening the v clamp and wasetage rod. should pull right off. theres a pin that has to meet the hole on compressur housing when you reinstall or will be out of balance.

ill see if i cant remove the comp housing while its in the car, but its insanely difficult to fit this turbo in the space i have. requires removing everything between the bumper cover and the engine to get at it.
