Is there some trick to removing the oil lines from the turbos? I have removed the nuts off each flange on the turbo side (underneath), as well as both banjo bolts for the feeds to each turbo... and the oil return line(s) just won't budge at all! Is it because the rubber portion is so old it won't flex? I even removed the 2 nuts holding oil return "Y" adaptor into the block. Still no dice. Is the oil return line held onto the block by some bracket I'm not seeing?

You should be able to remove the oil lines after you break the rubber portion out that is what I had to do.

Thats what I'm thinking..gonna try to just hacksaw the rubber lines..they are very tough after years of hardening!

hacksaw is a little extreme, i used a utility knife and just cut mine..the were hard as a rock...since i went single i wasnt worried about replacing them

Haha..yeah "hacksaw" was a figure of speech. I ended up cutting them with some snips...came right out and pulled the turbos outta there! Bye bye stock twins! :naughty:
