yyyyyyeah so i can't get the third bolt from the turbo to the manifold off, (the farthest bolt in, closest to the manifold itself) i got it to go a few turns and all of the sudden it is stuck to all hell, won't turn either way. Is this normal, or is it stripped? Either way i can't ****'in get it to turn. so i'm stuck. any help would be great.

 

try spraying it with a bunch of WD-40

 

Turn the bolt back the other way. If that fails, then put the other bolts back on. Actually..... is there a nut on the back of that bolt? I can't remember?

 

if teh doesnt work u can try using like a pipe or something for leverage. I ahd this problem with my short shifter install but the bolt was stripped. I had to use a ez out.

 

Don't use a pipe. You might thread it by trying to force it. The best way is to do the WD-40 spray. Put it on and let it sit for a little bit. Do it in the shade of course. Then try turning it. If not then spray some more and turn. Its a cat and mouse game but if you force it the only way if you destroy the bolt is the use a bit drill to get it out and that isn't fun. Well except maybe for Ritt.


There is also a both greaser that you can use besides WD-40, you can go to Autozone to get it. I can't recall the name but I know its out there. Let me know how it goes.

 

Is there a nut on the back of it? If all the WD40, graphite dust, olive oil, whale sperm doesnt help loosen it, then just force the fu.cker out and deal with the issue later. I'm pretty sure (dont hold me to it) you'll just fu.ck the bolt.

 

PB Blaster GTMA4? Also what always works for me is using my trustly home depot map gas torch to heat it red hot (threads and nut will expand) and then quickly take some ice or cold water and quench it (will contract quickly breaking rust loose)

 

aight thanks, i'll give all those a try and let you know how it turns out.

 

liquid wrench ... better than wd40 for rust.
