Switching Exhaust housings on two turbos??

I have a t3/t4b .48 ar w/ a 5bolt and a t3/t04e .60 ar with a internally gated 4-bolt. both exhuast wheels are the same same size (.48) so i want to put the 5bolt on the to4e so i can use my existing downpipe, etc.
but i cant get them apart to do so. I cant hold get the nut off the end of the wheels cause i can hold the exhaust side still cause of that funky bolt pattern. where can i find a ratchet or wrench or something.
Thanks!!! You help is very much appreciated

You don't take the wheels off to change housings. just disconnect th Wg and the bolts that hold the turbine housing to the center section. Then carefully tap it appart. If you take the wheels off you will have to have the turobo rebalanced.

So you can take the hot side off a turbo without disassembling the wheel? Anyone positive of this?

Yes, you can take just the exhaust off.

You have no clue how dissapointing that is to hear, I just put my turbo back on my car last night. It has been off for a couple weeks after I decided that it must be impossilbe to get the hot side off with the wheel assembled. I took out all the bolts that you loosen to clock the hot side. It still wouldn't come off?
