OM642 turbo feed press fit?

[dadscar]

I'm replacing my oil cooler seals and have wrestled all the turbo bolts loose (special shout out to swivel-head ratchets and 'torque amplifier').

The oil feed seems to be a press-fit from the top of the block, contrary to all the videos where it's screwed into the top of the turbo.

Does anyone know how to remove this line? It's now holding the turbo down so I can't get it out...

It’s actually a coolant line. It’s only pressed in with O ring each end. Jiggle the turbo and pull it out. Replace the O rings and lube them a little before refitting

Thanks. I had persuaded it out just a bit after posting.

Now I'm trying to get the manifolds out bit this also seems different than most videos in that the oil cooler seems to be mounted on the right manifold. It's proving difficult to get them out - as was pretty much everything so far

I have a big crowbar to help persuade the manifolds out but something tells me this may not be the best idea?

The better idea was to keep removing blocking parts until it came out somewhat easy. Now after a good clean I started putting things back again. I had started with the swirl flap motor until that proved difficult (which way should the actuators be?) so I decided to call it a day and continue tomorrow.
