Its easy the little 8mm bolts are a pain especially the bottom right one closest to the engine that was the hardest because of the heat exchanger thing for the auto tranny, probably easier on manual trucks.

I had to remove the turbo. My downpipe was too much in the way.
Don't lose the bolts to the oil drain tube.
Don't forget the bolt holding the wheel on is a left handed thread.

Ya'll make it sound too difficult. It takes 20 minutes and is pretty easy.
Just remove the v-band clamps from the DP, turbo outlet, and compressor housing. I use a simple 7/16" nut driver for that.
Then get a 3/4" 12 point socket and 3" extension. Push the DP out of the way and put the socket on the turbine wheel. After you pull the compressor off just slap a 1/2" wrench on the nut and turn to the RIGHT. With the old wheel off wipe everything down good and push the new compressor wheel on. Now just do all of that backward and youre done. 3 simple tools and 20 minutes.
