sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Donating Members 5,919 Member For: 15y 7m 26d Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 30/07/11 12:14 AM Share Posted 30/07/11 12:14 AM I can get at it easy by using a few wobble bars and a universal joint onto the socket. I use 1/4" gear and step down my 3/8"ratchet to the 1/4" extension. Easy to get at from near the wheel arch, in line with that bolt.

rw_88 New Member 9 Member For: 10y 21d Posted 03/11/15 07:15 PM Share Posted 03/11/15 07:15 PM found this thread by chance - just took my turbo off and found there was no gasket from the turbo to manifold after reading around I found that it's actually normal.. either way I'll be putting in a gasket when the turbo goes back onim a little bit a lot years late on replying to this thread, but if it helps anyone else in the future - undo the actuator bracket on the front housing of the turbo and move it away to make life easier and you can get a ratchet spanner into there with some decent room to swing, crack her open and then when she's loose enough undo her with your fingers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57319-getting-to-loose-bolts/page/3/#findComment-1568013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
