Chops Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Halp, my friends and i have tried and tried to take the back left nut holding the turbo to the manifold, and just cant get it off. the bottom left nut holding the manifold to the block is ridiculously inaccessible too. getting either off would end this nightmare, but its doing my head in. can anyone tell me an easy way to get them off? a pic of a method would be greatly appreciated!

TurboTobz Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I have a snap on ratchet that is flexible has got me out the shit a few times, other thing that saved my ass this weekend was sockets with inbuilt uj locked it and used a 3ft extension bar to crack this nut off, note to self never go near megane dci timing belts.

Chops Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 i have a flexi head ratchet spanner, but the heads to big to get onto the nut, the side of the turbo stops it. swan necks wont stay on, they just twist off. improbably just gonna have to chisel the fucker off, the manis going in the bin anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sandham Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hahaha what boost you running...1bar on the ct9, toyosports mani made from cheese with no braces helped aswell lol!Perfect excuse to td04 ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chops Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 haha boss man with the shredded mani. My car still has its air con, I'm not sure but i think that's what's stopping me from getting to the last nut holding the manifold on, and no spanner i can get hold of, ratchet, swan neck/dogs leg or otherwise will budge the last awkward nut holding the turbo on. If i can remove either the rest of the job is piss, as u can get a spanner between the toyosport manifold I'm fitting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
