Alright now this baby has been soaked with pb blaster before and I just heated it up some and tried to wack it off with a rubber mallet. I'm sure I could have gotten it much hotter if I would have done it in the daytime when it wasn't 56f and windy. Will try to reheat it in a day or two.

Idea was posted by Chris M on one of the other threads but Im not sure if the dunkin donuts style would be good with milk


Any of your ideas of getting it off would be great too

[ratcityrex]

Let it soak, I normal shoot it with pb, about ever 8 hours for 2 days and then I put it in the vice, back out the bolt until it hits the center section (I know it hits because when they are at the factory clocked angle 1 bolt should hit the oil feed/outlet) and then give it another 1/4 to 1/2 turn so it applys pressure and wants to separate itself and then whack the shit out of it with a dead blow hammer or a nylon mallet. I don't use rubber mallets because it absorbs to much of the blow. If it separates just a touch smack it back and try and work it back and forth.

propane torch 20mins or so steel mallet= win for me every time

This has worked for me every time and yeah the rubber mallet wont do the job. Let it soak for 2 days this seems to be the magic number. Use of shit laying around is priceless to me literally. This is what I do with old halfshafts that dont want to seperate from the axle also. The older 90 hondas are starting to become a pain to work on

Another idea from the poor guy you could also try to heat up the turbo in the oven closest to the rack on broiler then hit it with the torch. I would highly recommend cleaning it before attempting such a thing. Never done it before but it a thought. If your chicken dinner tastes like 10w-30 its not my fault.



Honestly if I was do do such a thing I would go down to the thirft store and buy a toaster oven for 10 bucks.

We just put a holset on a friends car. It's was a couple days of PB and the 2lb mini sledge from HF. You have to beat it harder than you want to.

This.

I normally just use a 5lbs short handle small sledge, and smash it until it comes free.

When have you ever seen a toaster oven that will fit a Holset in it?

[chris]

Torch and BFH is what we had to use on my friends HE351 that we put on his STI..

Oops.  Didn't read the last line.

Where the hell is the turboD16 dunce hat smiley when you need it?

So I asked my dad to come over and help torch it since he's actually wanted to help oddly enough. We both mapp gas the exhaust housing for 10 minutes or so and take a pry bar to it to twist it off. It slightly rotates but in a awful position and it does not want to come off. So ge grabs a large peice of wood, and hammers it into the exhaust housing which popped it right off. Didn't damage the blades or anything but it feels a little rough when spinning. Could of been all the dirt and shit that was from the concrete bricks we were using to prop it up though. Threw it back in the oil bath and will inspect it closer tomorrow after I clean it up some. Maybe a rebuild kit is in order.

[Foowee]

Good, you got it apart.  Lead hammers are my favorite for this.  I like the wood idea, I'll have to try that next time...

[JaredKaragen]

I was about to say:

I always hold the compressor and smack the Hotside with a lead hammer.  Usually after a few hits around it it comes off, if not I break out the mini sledge.  Soaking in penetrating oil does help; but nothing beats gentile pursuasion.

[Aero]

If it uses bolts to hold the hotside on rather than a v-band you can pull the bolts, remove the hold down plates, put the bolts back in and screw them down. Then take some stacked nuts, or a spacer close to the distance between the compressor backing cover and the bolt. Place them in and back the bolts off, will apply pressure and help get the TH to come off if hitting it doesn't do the trick by itself.
