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.

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 [tonguewink]
