Azz Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 It has a little locating pin that needs to be removed once you seperate the turbo which allows you to rotate it to any point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jakeep82 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 I have taken the c clamp off should it come apart now with a rubber mallet ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Yes but it will take some abuse/heat. I even restored to a copper mallet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 ok then will get the blow torch on it tommoro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 just tap it soft and steady with a proper mans hammer just do it evenly. Tap at 12 o'clock then at 6, then at 3 then at 9 ect. Not the actual times or you will be there all day! I obviously mean positions on a clock lol. Same goes for the compressor cover Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 haha take me days to get it off doing at them times ;) ill try it with heat and rubber mallet first im heavy handed at the best of times let alone with a hammer in my hand ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 yeah heat will make it easier, i strip 30 odd turbos a day and only ever use heat on stuff that comes of tractors etc because they can be a nightmare! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 hopefully i can get it apart tommoro im just scared to break it lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve-gers Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 mine came apart no bother at all without heat, I just put it in the vice and kept tapping it with a copper mallet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
