sup guys..im trying to clock my turbo...i followed all instructions on loosening the 6 bolts on both sides, but now it just wont turn...doesnt budge at all and all bolts are definitely loosened enough.....the turbo is on right now and id rather leave it on, but i may have no choice to remove it and try clocking it then....

but any suggestions on making this damn thing turn....anyone run into a similar problem?

STOP STOP STOP STOP!!!! The bolt your pointing to attaches the backplate to the cartridge. Tighten that back up RIGHT NOW!!!

Only loosen the bolts that attach the compressor cover (the ones that are up against the brackets that hold the compressor cover to the backplate.

At most, you may need to loosen the bolts connected to the turbine housing (also has two brackets). Those are the ones that are difficult to move. but only if necessary.

STOP!!! Put that backplate bolt back in.
