Detroit Diesel — Remove Turbocharger
Repair & overhaul
From a Detroit Diesel service manual — check it applies to your exact model before use.
Procedure
- Disconnect the oil supply line and the oil drain line from the turbocharger.
- Cover the end of each oil inlet and outlet line and the air inlet and exhaust outlet openings on the engine to prevent entrance of foreign material.
- Loosen the two hose clamps securing the hose to the turbocharger and the air inlet tube and slide the hose up over the inlet tube. Remove and discard the steel straps.
- Remove the four bolts, nuts and washers securing the turbocharger to the exhaust manifold adaptor and remove the turbocharger and gasket.
