GeeGee

get a hammer and tap all the way around, some wd40 will help as well.

radioren

ive tried that. but it IS supposed to spin right?
Im not talking about the compressor side. That came off no problem. Im talking the exhaust housing side. I took off the four bolts and the was this kinda split (in two) ring washer thing. that side IS supposed to turn?
thanks BTW

GeeGee

yes, it suppose to rotate, that's the ony way to clock your turbo.

you gatta take your turbo off there is prolly a little down pin holding it in place you have to break that off to clock the turbo.. thats how it is on a 14b anyway

radioren

hmmm. where would this down pin be if there is one on my IHI RHB5? I went ahead and sprayed it down with PB and let it sit overnight. We'll see if it spins or not.
I kinda did a bone head thing and broke off one of the water inlet lines but I think theres enuff trheads to fix it or I just wont use it...
What has everyone done to clock there turbos. ANy tips to make it easy? THanks

bump da bump anyone?
I gotta get this thing on before I move WED.
The thing still wont spin. ANd I dont see where there wud be a pin in it. ....ANYONE wiht ANYTHING?......well at least relating to this.....

If it's been on there for a while, you're not going to be able to move it. I had the same issue with mine.

Remove the whole thing and take it to your welder or just heat it up yourself. You need a crapload of heat (mine was glowing) to make it move. A small knock with the hammer after it's been heated will make it come off.

Solution for future > get it HPC coated while it's off.

radioren

Boof, thanks for the heads up.
I FINALLY got it to clock and just got done gettin all piping on. Fired it once and now f-ing fuel pump solenoid isnt getting signal!! lol always something!!
