Cheers for that, worked a treat! ANy recommendation on some replacements? Looks like they could do with it, some regular bolts would be nice I suppose but studs are still good!

Go down to your local MTQ and they will have new turbo to mainfold studs and nuts in a pack , dump to rear housing studs and nuts in a pack and a full gasket kit to suit

Will set you back about $50 for all of it

^this guy, dropping the knowledge bombs

Only isue I have now is I can't get the CHRA out of the exhaust housing..... ahh why can nothing ever be easy haha

Wind two bolts back in (minus the retainer plate, and one on each side) and use two deep sockets (or any other solid chuck of steel) as spacers between the bolts and front housing then wind the bolts back out with and open ended spanner half a turn at a time.

This will push the hosing back off the chra

Is that how you do it. I just get the biggest hammer and smash it like you do a ball joint.

Spraying a french product called Reducteur H 72 Super Releasing Agent helps with those sorts of job. That stuff has released many rusted parts. Last time bought from Bunnings, dont know if they still have it.

Seriously mate, absolute legend that worked perfectly cheers.

I going to attempt this soon on the ba I just got my hands on! ill be checking shaft play on the 35/40 when its off question is what is an exceptable amount of shaft play back and forward side to side etc. cause if the turbo is off and on its way out I might as well buy new bits I need at the same time

Great write up! this will help out alot of people
