the hardest part is getting all the oil passages CLEAN. You need c-clip pliers to get the brass bushings out. ONce they're out you'll be able to stick a small drill bit in at a 45 degree angle to clean those (by hand). Then there's a larger hole (like 1/8" or so) hole that goes across to feed those smaller holes. Use a larger bit and run it in that hole. I mark the end of the shaft and compressor blade so I can get it back on turned the same way. To get the compressor wheel nut off wrap a rag around the turbine blades a few times, in proper direction. That will keep shaft from turning to get nut off but won't damage anything. Warning: if your turbo is completely shot a rebuild kit won't work. When you pull the shaft out of the center section inspect the inner hole of the center section. The turbine side of the shaft has a piston ring type of seal. IT will rub a groove into the bore surface and make the center section leak, even with new sealing ring.
