waste gate actuator tips

[pandrade]

ok i finaly bought a new actuator for my 7m now to get to the turbo is pretty easy to replace lines for instance, but im thinking that to get the little c clip off the old actuator arm you have to pull the turbo out and set it on a bench, i might be wrong and thats why im asking. is there any way to replace the actuator whithout having to take the turbo out(maby from underneth whith really long needle nose plyers) im fully prepaired to take the turbo out but if there is an easier way im open to any helpfull hints from others that have done it befor.

also if there are any common problems that like to arrise when takeing the turbo out i would like to hear them so im prepaired
