I have found a crack in my rubber turbo output connector hose which I'm  sure
is giving me a vacuum leak. I have a new one from Clark's. I plan to  replace
it this weekend. What is the spacing between the turbo and the  crossover
tube? Can I just slip the hose up and then off or should I plan  to remove
the crossover tube or do I need to remove the turbo. Just in  case, I have
all the gaskets that might be needed for either procedure. Is  this a piece
of cake or an involved job? 


======================================================
 
Approx. 20 min.   4 bolts at heads... 2 clamps at  hose...spray some 
penetrant at each end and slice!
 
Rotate manifold to remove...  If no stuck / broken gaskets at  heads... 
re-assemble.
