tap it away fron the turbo core and also tap it left to right to brake it free and make sure once you do go to tighten the bolts up keep spining the turbo wheel as you do up the bolts stops the blades getting bent as some times carbon dosnt allow the housing to sit flush and the casing totch the wheel

JTECHSAFF has the right idea - it's amazing how much force that you can apply using bolts
