Default turbo open (exhaust wheel nut)

i'm tring to repair my turbo but the exhaust wheel nut not have any side to
put a wrench, all are grinded by the balance.

it's safe to use a 3/8 air gun to loose the front nut and retorque them?

or use a vise , like i see in a video?

Regardless of getting the nut off, as soon as you take it off the turbo is no longer balanced, even if you get the nut back on exactly where it was it still won't be balanced. Then the turbo might last a few hundred miles if your lucky before it destroys itself from being out of balance. This is why you pay a professional to rebuild a turbo, your wasting your time and money trying to do it on your own.

if you mark the shaft and the comp. wheel the turbo works fine again?

is posible to put the shaft in a vise and loose the nut?
