a decent six sided socket a try again, if that doesnt work the try a decent six sided socket a size smaller than they are supposed to be, and knock it on. never failed me yet! And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers! |

Try using diesel instead of WD40... it works better!

hmmm, i got one of them to do on me spare turbo. i planned on heating the turbo up with a blowtorch then dropping some cold water on the stud. that method worked a treat when we snapped a subframe bolt off.

i drilled mine out and helicoiled it. if you do that they will never seize again. its the method we use on our gas turbines as things get hot. |

Plus gas is like WD40 but is a lot better as its meant for releasing seized things. Be carefull with that on the casting dude its more likely to fracture with the sudden change in temp |

Wish I'd read this earlier! My resolution was to weld a nut to the stud, let penetrating oil soak in a few days, then use an impact gun. Worked like a charm... **************************************
