Angry Need Help on how to remove Turbo

Hi all, I need some major help, Can some tell detail steps on how to remove turbo on a 2012 GL350 Bluetec. I have removed a lot of bolts but the turbo is not coming out. I am not sure what i am missing. I am stuck. I live in Brampton, Ontario and need some help asap. It is moving from side to side when i push it but it does not come out. THe engine is OM642, I watched a lot of You tube videos but nothing is helping.

Hello!
Have you disconnected it from both manifolds (3 bolts each) and exhaust? There are also four bolts that holds the turbo down, two in the center and two in the back....

Here’s the back if it helps.

then two in the middle, then two at the back when looking from the top.

Hopefully you already have this taken care of - google oil cooler leak, numerous videos that show the disassembly process including removing the turbo...
