starlybruiser Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 well i ordered an adjustable actuator from toytuning the other week and have now recieved it, but when i came to fiting it i cant budge the original actuator bolts they are solid, ive been soaking them every day with penetrating fluid for about 4 days and they still wont budge anyone else had this kinda trouble when changing them? also whats the best way to get at the actuator as i have my arm down through the gap in between the radiator and the Efi pipe. chers guys starlybruiser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy1 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 try taking out the grille the top mounts for the radiator off and moving the rad to the right, should give u a few more inches ;-)the bolts where tight on mine but not that bad, otherwise take the rad out and use a breaker bar.glad u got your actuator from tt ,ordered mine a while ago and explained it was urgent, still havent seen it-got a complete new turbo since then!oh yeah b careful with the E ring that holds the pin in...ping, oh bugger.

Callan Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 get under neath yeh, get a 12mm ratchet and socket on there, and use a 14mm or 15mm ring ended spanner on the end of the ratchet for leverage, you had the crack the bolts off as theyve been on there 10+years with all the heat etc, they just need cracking off ,once you do that its all gravy, underneath is alot easier IMOgood luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Love Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 you should have taken the efi off.. so much more easier to work on mate..then you should be able to get in enough to give it a good fight! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
