    Turbo removal - bloody drain bolt

    I have a 2015 Defender, trying to remove the turbo, everything removed except 1 turbo drain bolt.
    What's the secret for removing it? Its frigging hard to even see it with a mirror.

    going to guess,,,

    1/4 inch drive ratchet and extension bar set with a crows foot.

    or at least a wobble drive and a decent socket.

    *exhaust off turbo.
    *remove heat shield under turbo, remove the three bolts (2 on the block, one on the turbo itself).
    *reach around with your left hand from the exhaust end of turbo with your small 1/4 drive, either a single long reach socket or a std socket with a small extension, use your right hand under the turbo.
    *a socket long enough (or short extension) to clear the turbo snail housings but short enough to not hit the elbow drain on the pipe.

    *you do need to use your minds eye or your jedi power a small amount, its not hard suck it up
