Yes if all of the bolts can be teased free. If not then its an absolute bast*rd and its a double b*stard when they shear!

Well, I just had to have a full exhaust system put on my classic. 50% of the bolts sheared on the turbo, and decent replacements are not cheap (don't fit rubbish ones).
Garage said that given the age of classics now, you have to be in the 10% of lucky people to get a turbo off without a bolt shearing. DIY job if you are mechanically minded (I am not), just bank on not being able to refit the new turbo unless you have access to some spare bolts, and the tools to re-tap the turbo once you drill out the ones that shear.
