Bean Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 good luck with that clip there beasts. i bought a great big pair of long nose pliers with decent thick handles. then i bent the tips of them in slightly they work a treat for those huge circlips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep_brad Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 i bought a massive set as well lol.They were delivered today it took me about 15mins to get that circlip out and about 30mins to put the fucker back in ;) at least it all sorted now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep_brad Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 well ive finally got my td04 rotated and what a fucker. I had to order some heavy duty set of circlip pilers because of the massive circlip on the back of the turbo.Its taken about an hour in all and had to be careful so i didnt damage the blades otherwise the turbo would be no good.Part of the turbo off.I need to get the internal wastegate flap welded shut at some point because im going to be running external wastegate.The part of the turbo with the massive circlip took about 20minutes to remove this fuckerLeft me with just the housingthere was a little pin i had to remove otherwise i wouldnt be able to rotate the turbo so it face down and easier to connect the fmic.Here are the finished pictures with the turbo all back together and stuck on the new manifold and i couldnt help but fit it to the engine ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
