The issue is they're just not a lot of room to work with the fan assembly being in close proximity, and the attachment at the actual turbo inlet is extremely snug. In fact it's actually spring loaded.
I found that just the awkwardness of your arm position made it very hard to get it off and especially back onto the turbo.
If I was to do it again, I would likely just remove the fan assembly.
I posted a few links from the WIS in this thread, they should get you started. Hopefully other people chime in with some tips

I'll refer to this thread, particularly number 7 in the first post.
