Default NEED HELP! Can't rotate center section w/ pics! Any advice much appreciated.

Hey guys seems like everytime I get a junkyard turbo rotating the oil inlet and outlet on the turbo is a big pain. Its always corroded together. Well I got all the blots loose and even some out but still cant get the center section to budge. Does anyone have any tips to what I can do to rotate this center section. LMK guys thanks alot.

Also one more question do you think that broken bolt will effect anything. Im def. going to grind it down and put it in the middle of the clamp not the outside. I would think it would be perfecty ok but I remember in the past I broke a bolt like this and had a small oil leak out of it. Well thanks.

Thanks for looking!

Heat up the turbine section a little and tap it off.

I have a Holset turbo but similar problem, I was even using a chissel and mini sledge to try and seperate the turbine housing from the center section, wasn't working.

What I did was use Liquid Wrench, I have the foam one, and put TONNES of it on 2 times a day for a week, it finally gave out last night and I was able to seperate it with the chissel and sledge.

It was not easy.

dude are you trying to get your post count up or what? I got it for a damn good deal and I didnt get it from a juckyard, it's just one you could find there. Beats paying a shitload but when its all over its alot of time wasted. Oh well thanks for the help guys. What exactly is liquid wrench? Saw it on a search someone else used to rotate this but wasnt sure what he was talking about. I appreciate everyones time.

Yeah, i'm trying to get my post count up. You get a free Igloo travel cooler with 6000 posts

No, i'm just floored when people try to use junk on their car to save a few bucks. If the thing is froze together, you think the seals are in good shape? Come on, use some sense there.

Forget the liquid wrench, go to sear hardware, pick up a bottle of MAPP gas, kit setup and all those rusted bolts will come off with ease. trust us man this stuff works wonders if you don't have a torch.

Yeah, heat it up around the the top where it seals with the center section.

I don't think matt needs to up his post count, he already has 5k posts...
