Thought I would post some pics as I took apart a turbo I had lying around.
tools I used were,
Matco ratcheting wrench 10mm and 13mm
Craftsman open ended wrench 10mm and 13mm
Vice grips and socket/ ratchet

Remove the nut at the end of the turbine, I used a 12 point socket, and a pair or vice grips at the other end.

once nut is off undo the bolts holding on the brackets on the cold side

remove the turbine from the turbo by just pulling straight up, but be careful not to chip a fin or anything. Use your hands only, no tools to pull it off.

undo hot side bolts, you should be able to turn the turbo to get to all the bolts. I had to heat mine up with a torch because it wouldn't turn or seperate.

remove the hot side turbine by just tapping on the shaft with a very light hammer or end of a wrench or something.

undo the bolts from the center section. I wrapped a 10mm wrench around them and they came right off. Its handy to have a set of ratcheting wrenches for this. Matco makes a good set which I have, but you can get a set of gear wrenches for much cheaper.

There ya have it, just don't do it with a good turbo, if you can find a junk one that would be awesome. But you might have a little trouble getting it apart due to the amount of dirt or whatever else buildup is on the turbo.
