have a bolt ready to put into the coolant line from the header tank, so coolant doesnt spill everywhere when you disconect it from the turbo

That's always the way isn't it?!!! All bolts come off easily...... except one! And it's ALWAYS the last one! Really, REALLY drives me apoplectic

I always find that if you put the other bolts back in, it releases the pressure on the stubborn one.
