Before anyone says search, i've already done that and yielded a few good suggestions.

Hey I'm trying to clock a turbo and i cant get the turbine side to budge at all... i've tried hiting it with a rubber mallet torching it, using WD-40, and using a breaker bar in the turbine inlet and compressor outlet and it wont budge, and of course combinations of both. Anyone have any advice? I really need to get this turbo clocked and it wont budge been at it for like 2 hours

 

We normally break them loose using PB Blaster from Checker/Shucks/Kragen. Soak it daily for a few days, then it should tap loose. Major force should not be required, only patience...

damn it i dont have a few days!

 

beat the **** out of it with a dead blow, if that doesnt work move onto a bigger hammer... thats what i did...

put a peice of wood ontop of trhe turbine housing and just beat the **** out of the inlet with a huge hammer through the peice of wood.

do it on a bench and be carefull you dont want your turbo to fly off your housing and damage the blades.

 

YES beat the **** out of the turbo. I had problems with clocking my turbo and I got sick of it and I smashed it real hard and it moved.

 

Geez this is really frustrating......this is like the 3rd going 4th hour on this. I can't go any further into installing anything else until i get the turbo on properly...bah !!!

Thank you for the suggestions though, please any more ideas are welcome.

 

Bump ! someone help this good guy out.... any other creative ideas out there ?
