Is it humanly possible to remove the oil filter tree in a twin turbo model without pulling the block or turbo. Yes I know it will be tight and my knuckles might bleed, but im up for a laugh if its possible. just don't want to waste time on getting frustrated over something that isn't actually possible.

Never had to do it to be honest, not sure about the clearance on fixings, when I did a manifild gasket on that side last week it looked tight but possible, sorry cannot be 100% sure someone will have done it or tried it.

Cheers for that jeff, I can see it being easy on an na, and I really have no idea why I didn't do this when I had the engine on the stand and the manifolds off, I guess I just couldn't see the wood for the trees with the leaky rocker gaskets and assumed it was ok. Lesson learnt.
