ok the 2 front nuts i have got undone but the back 2 i cant get on

someone said if i remove the top alternator bracket i can get on the front nut is that right ?

how do i get on the rear nut tho at the back ? the exhaust downpipe is in the way

also how do i get the studs out of the back of the turbo that connect the exhaust to the turbo ?

any help greatly appreciated

matt

 

 

 

its a pure bitch of a job. done mine a whikle ago and at end of job i had all these modified, bent an twisted spanners to get into where the nuts are. good luck.

 

thats ment to be the easiest way

ask benn304r on here as he done a post about it along time ago and i belive he sorted it

 

oh fook ... so i got this crap to come aswell then

 

Did'nt think of bending spanners when I did mine

Took exhaust manifold off nice job that too

 

i dont have any nuts on teh back two of mine !! , all i have to do is undo the down pipe unclick both oil pipes , remove one bolt and turn the turbo through 90 deg and its off !!

can swap blowers in approx 4mins taking my time !!

 

4 mins bloody eck .. im on me way
does it not make any difference not havin the back 2 on then???

 

Might do if the car is used every day but Mark's is a competition car which is meant to break often!

 

did i miss out the bits like , the exhaust housings are quick release ? and that teh oil fittings just unclip like a compressor hose ??

as for the rear bolts , ive never had any problems what so ever , i do however lock wire the front two just for saftey

and my turbo is off after every event , so say every 100miles i take it off strip it , check and rebuild what it needs so i dont suffer from rusty seized bolts etc

 

 

 

hhmmmmmmm
there must be a way..........

 

There is......Semtex! Bit messy though!

 

imagine claiming on the insurance..

well my turbo blew up

 

Just take the lot off manifold etc loads fooking easyer than pissing about trying to undo the turbo from mainfold trust me done it the other month

while apart fitted new gaskets and all the studs and nuts cost a mint but worth it

 

Have you thought about crow foot spanners and 'C' spanners etc for the extra versatility?

 

finally got my turbo off thanks for the help gus

now the fun starts trying to put the new one on tommorow lol

i WILL be asking for help again tommorow pmsl

p.s does anyone have any idea how much the 3 exhaust studs are from fords ?

cheers..............matt

 

about a £5 each

 

anyone know the finis codes for the studs and nuts????

 

spose thats alright doo as i have to get them anyway

cheers..............matt

 

told u matt done loads and never once FOOKED around taking manifold of far to much of a job 1hr should see turbo swapped withe THE CORRECT TOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

just get the studs from kwik fit ore somewhere alike

 

Correct tools? Does that include a 9" grinder, air chisel, 5 foot prybar and 6' scafold extension, assorted hammers and chisels, hacksaw, mole grips, stilsons etc etc?

Some Whitworth sockets just for good measure?

 

best get the above tools then

 

so thats your special tool kit u keep talking about
