[Norcalgsx707]

Just need a tip or two of how to get in those tight areas, im replacing my t25 and dont want to have to take off the manifold whats the quickest way?

The front two arnt so bad a wrench or socket on extension should do. But the back one is where you will have a hard time without removing the turbine housing.

I had a hell of a time getting it off. I even had the downpipe off. Honestly it will be quicker to take the turbo and mani out as 1.

Taking it off isn't bad it's the getting it back on.

The trick is, you can actually fit a breaker bar + socket on the rear bottom bolt (as well as the top bolts). Once you get a breaker bar on there, it's a piece of cake

Unless you want to dismount the whole shebang and throw it in a vice your other option is to more or less to just put up with the pain.

I'm not sure what I hate more; R&R the 02 housing, dropping the transmission with nothing but hands, or R&R the A/C pulley.

Actually, hands down, it's the A/C pulley but none of these things are pleasant.

I tried getting it out and I gave up. After a hour of messing with it I just took it all off. Lord knows one thing can't be simple on these cars. One thing always leads to another. Just save the hassle and take it off.
