Rotating center section of garrett t3 turbo
Hey guys i have a problem...Im about to do my turbo setup on my d series motor and im using a garrett t3 turbo. I noticed when i test fit it that the oil feed hole is pointing down and the oil drain hole is pointing up and i know this is definately bad. So i tried to rotate it like i know you can, but when i tried to remove the bolts that hold the center section to the exhaust housing, i cant get all of them out because some of the bolts hit the flanges for the oil holes. I was wondering if any of you guys could lead me in the right direction as to how to get these bolts out or how to rotate this center section. Thanks in advanced for all the help

if you start hitting **** with hammers, its gonna get bad most likely. **** will bent, snap off, or break.
the proper way to fix your situation to to clamp the turbo in a vise and bust out the torch. you need to torch the exhaust housing for a little bit, so it expands a tiny bit, then rotate it so that the bolts arent hitting, then back those bolts out. never direct heat at the center section though, only the housing. wear gloves suitible for the heat also, obviously.
this is the best way we've found of working on old *** turbo's.

Re: (delslo93)
You don't need a torch, just some liquid wrench, a vice, and a giant breaker bar.
Liquid wrench the entire center section throughly... Put it in a vice... grab by the oil feed + return flanges *use wood or rags so you don't ****'em'up* ...
Breaker bar goes in exhaust inlet... and you and a friend pull like never before. It took me, my brother, and a 5' breaker to get mine loose.
Good luck.
