Anyone know if there are any particular tools or procedures I need to be aware of to replace the turbo oil return line?

I'm planning to replace the feed line this weekend and thinking I might try to tackle the return line while I have everything torn apart.

This will be on a 2008 MCS.

TIA!

 

8mm socket for the bolt on the bottom of the turbo and players for the clamp on the other end. That's it

 

Thanks. It looks easy, but what a struggle this has turned into to get it off. Can't seem to get enough of a grip to pull it out at the top end and can't quite get a grip on the clamp with the pliers (but I know I can get that eventually). Think I'll break for lunch and then give it another try.

 

I'm probably too late to be of any help, but I found this DIY to change the lines.

I just this for a local clubmember's car, so I'm pretty familiar with it, what clamp are you trying to get off?

 

Thanks guys. It was the top end of the oil return line that I was trying to get free. I did finally manage to get it. Glad I decided to include that during this repair. Looked like a more likely candidate for the source of my oil leak than the feed line (which I also replaced). Guess we'll see over the next couple days whether I'm still leaking oil.
