hey, im currently in the middle of a turbo build.. im having trouble clocking my exhaust housing side. I sprayed it with lubricant to kinda soak it a bit, and it just wont budge. Seems like its just seized to ****, and wont budge anywhere. Any ideas or help? Im desperate i wanna just get this thing done. Thanks!

I had an old one once that I had to tap with a hammer to get it moving. Make sure all the nuts are finger loose.

As above, gave mine a few solid taps with a rubber mallet and it clocked freely after that.

Is it new or used? Sometimes heating up the housing a little bit helps as well as tapping it with a hammer. If it's used, you might have to heat it up, and tap the **** out of it with a BFH. Use a block of wood or something to dampen the hits so you don't damage the center section/housing.

Its used. And yes ive literally taken off all the bolts. I guess ill haveto try heating it up, and using a rubber mallet.

Unless anyone has any other ideas!

But anyways, thanks alot guys ill haveto give it a shot.

you could try sticking the back end of the mallet/screwdriver into the compressor outlet to get some leverage on the housing
