If you wernt so far away i would do it here for you lol.Try a 6 sided cut down ring spanner rather than a 12 sided. It may work.Soak it in wd-40 over night beforehand.

wind the two nuts or half nuts onto the stud, tighten them against each other, then unwind the stud with the inner nut :)

will try these techniques and see how I get on:D

Took car down to VOSA (Mate works there) to get it up in the air to have a go with a cold chisel to get it off. Not enough room to see what you are doing from underneath without giving it a good old belt into something else and knackering it altogether.

Not enough room to get 2 half nuts on either, tried every combination of spanner socket headed things you can think of without success.:(

Going to have to take the lot off to make a little more room to have a proper go at it.

Pissed off is not the word:mad:

Managed to strip the turbo off again and get the offending item off with these.

These are the dogs bollox and had it out in 5 mins.

Now need a manifold if anyone has one as the inside vein on the turbo side is split.

Looking forward to getting this back together now to terrorize the local LOL:D

that bit always splits doesn't it ?

grind the webbing out paul,as caminhead say's, they allways crack.

good shout guys, had that idea initially but thought it might crack the manifold further, will give it a go.

Its better out than snapping off and ending up in the turbo:)
