Air Leak

[PukkaSilvia]

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

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

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

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
