Easy, but not had a TD for some time....

Drain (rad drain and a drain bolt in block near turbo)
Viscous off (lh thread)
Believe aux belt off - undo the black plate at top of tensioner damper and "swing" it up - I posted some pics some time back. If you have A/C, that belt also needs to come off.
Remove pipe to state, then stat out.
Reverse to refit

Do not be tempted to use a lever on aux tensioner, way above is easier and less likely to break brittle tensioner casting
