I use these to break the up pipe bolts loose. There's almost no room back there for a ratchet to fit but these give enough leverage to break.

I use a ratcheting wrench like posted above and either sprawl out over the engine and go from above/the side or go up through the wheel well on passenger side
Very good advice. Bought a set similar to this. I had to sacrifice (cut) the other end because it was too long.
Success. Thanks to the four members that replied to my post. It took me a few months to replace the turbo because I was only able to work on it during the weekends. Also, bought different sets of tools to include "S shaped" wrenches. With Zero mechanical knowledge and this blog, I was able to replace Turbo (on my own) and Diesel Duramax is running like a Champ!!
Just an FYI, you can quote more than one post at a time.
Like above, I use either a low profile ratchet or a long 12pt wrench. It can be a pain in the ass but heat (oxy torch) is by far the best thing/help when removing them.

Absolute easiest way is through the passenger fender well, removing the tire makes it a little nicer for room but don’t have to. LONG 1/2 ratchet as it provides more leverage to break bolts loose than a breaker bar and some muscle.
