Can't remember, maybe 13 mm twelve point with a 10 mm thread. Make sure your socket is good and on square they can be tight. Two should come out no problem the third that goes through the flange and protrudes beyond it can be tight due to the protruding threads being rusty. Use some Plugas on it and work gradually back and forth until it frees off if it has rusted. Do NOT just try and screw it out if it's tight you may shear it off.

Maybe not your turbo but generally same procedure.

Getting the Seals and the turbine shaft to seat correctly is a big pain....would defo advocate a refurbed or S/H unit.
Diesel runaway from ineffective turbo seals dumping oil into the intake is a scary and dangerous occurance....do not underestimate the amount of oil the oil pump can pump into the intake in short order causing a runaway event!

I'm sure there must be cheaper options than FedEx

No doubt, but it was the only one I could check without having a full delivery address

To take out the turbo, do I really need to remove the exhaust manifold too?
Removed exahst, oil lines, and 3 bolts to ex-manifold expecting I can wriggle it out. Seems no luck.

Removed the turbo from the engine. Had to remove the exhaust manfold too, which took most of my time.
Anyway the turbo compressor side was wet with oil ,when rotated by hand it was smooth and no noise without any play in anyway.
Will it solve my issue if i put a new repair kit.
Guess i can do it , thnks to Wammers for the videos.

What have you got to loose? the cost of a repair kit, some time and your engine if you get it all wrong and it runs away fed by the engine oil.

If yours is pre EGR it should have an oil separator on the pipe from the cam cover to the inlet pipe. Remove the cam cover and clean out the mesh separator under the plate in there and fit a new separator to the pipe from cam cover to inlet pipe, problem maybe oil mist from the cam cover or you may have a ring blow making to much pressure in the crank case. Something to try if you can find nothing wrong with the turbo. Life gets complex.

Mine is pre EGR. The PCV valve is located outside the camcover & I've a catch can fittef, so oil coming from that side can be minimal if any.
I've no idea on the turbo charger oil seal. is it a rubber o-ring type as shown in the kit with other items(ebay photo)? When the oil seal go, what are the symptoms other than leaking oil? I mean, should there be any noise, or roughness in the turbine shaft etc.

New observation.
The drain line from turbo is blocked. see photo, the oil level is at the upper end of drain tube. Tried to clear it with a piece of wire. Though the wire goes in, the oil level remains unchanged. Dipstick level is in the middle.
Is it normal for the turbo drain to have such an oil level( roughly the drain tube upper level is about 3 inches above the sump gaske level)?
Any views appreciated.

As far as I'm aware, the drain tube should allow free draining of the oil from the turbo into the sump.

I am not 100% sure but i think there maybe a depression valve on the turbo drain. This is activated by the depression that is supposed to be in the crank case whilst the engine is running. There is supposed to be a partial vacuum in the crank case for emission purposes. Air being sucked out by the turbo. This is controlled by the PCV. If you have played with the PCV and fitted a catch tank as you say you may have compromised the crankcase venting function. If the turbo drain is not opening oil will be being fed to the turbo under pressure but has nowhere to go if the vent is not working causing the oil to be pushed past the turbo seals.

The car has PCV with the catch tank. Checked both lrcat & realoem sites for the 'depression valve' on the turbo drain. There is no such thing. Basically PCV handles that function, I guess. Will remove the turbo drain line & see.

There maybe some sort of valve on drain to keep oil in the turbo when engine is stopped and turbo is still winding down. If that is blocked you would get same outcome. If PVC is working properly and clean and oil separator in cam cover is clean you should not need a catch tank. Some oil vapour ingress from cam cover into turbo pipes is normal. If you probe drain do it very carefully there maybe something in there you could damage.
