Ok, yours is just like mine. No need to brave the snow.

When I worked on my engine. I got lots of practice removing and installing the turbo pipes. LOTS.

First a 10mm nutdriver to loosen the clamps is a must. Second, one of those hose remover tools, the ones with a right angle bend at the end, helps. You scoot the nose of the tool between the hose and the pipe and walk it around to loosen the hose. Third. DO NOT USE any sort of grease to help reassemble the pipes and hoses. They will come back apart. Trust me, I know these things. You can use a little, and I mean a little soapy water to help slip them back together. And last, don't tighten any of the clamps till you get it all back together and lined up the way you want it. It definitely is a jig saw puzzle of angles and rotation to get it all back in place.
