If your just looking to change fluids, there is no need to take it off.

FULL CREDIT to you for wanting to do a little maintenance & cleaning right here at the start~! - Certainly as the guys said don't pull the Turbo but for Cleaning it's easy to pull the Radiator, 4 small bolts, 2 Hose Clamps & 2 Fan connectors - Particularly a good idea if you are replacing ALL Fluids, Anti Freeze, Oil, Tranny Fluids, etc anyway - Check EVERY Belt & EVERY HOSE on that thing too - Good Luck

I'd just check shaft play. If it's bad, consider taking it off for a rebuild or swap. If it's not bad, leave it on.

Then do a thorough boost leak test.
