so which clamp joints are giving you problems? Iām assuming youāre using the t-bolt spring loaded ones ?
It's not fun but it's doable. It's easier if you take the tire off unless you have a lift kit. I have a 2" lift and I managed to keep the tire on. The worst part is you have to take the belt off of the a/c compressor and loosen up the bolts to get to one little bolt that holds the turbo oil deliver tube to the block. I recommend lots of patience and long 1/4" drive socket extensions with swivels to get to the coolant and oil tubes feeding the turbos.
Yes the T-bolt clamps with springs. I purchased the same style clamps without the spring and I am slowly replacing the repeat offenders.
Happen to know which ones are blowing off most frequently? Iāve got a lot of stuff apart already- take it youāre using a t-bolt no-spring clamp like these?
That's them. The places that blow apart are where two straight runs couple together like on top of the engine discharge from the driver side turbo and the bigger pipe in front of the engine going to the intercooler (the most difficult SOB to get to). It takes them a couple of months to work their way apart. I can usually catch the top one before it blows but the other one is really hard to see.
