Ba Turbo - Cant Remove Manifold Bracket Bolt

[180bfj20det]

Got the bracket out.

Used a bolt extractor kit to remove stud closest to block and front of vehicle.

Turbo then came off easily.

Used the same bolt extractor kit (cheapy from bunnings for $30 - Trojan brand) to remove the bracket bolt closest to firewall - easy to remove.

To install an intune motorsport braided oil line with remote filter - I just used a single 24mm long socket to remove standard oil lines from block. Took all of 10 minutes after having removed airbox. No need for spanners or holding things in place. No crimping occurred.

Interestingly, although the filter unit within the oil supply fitting at the block did not appear blocked, it sure wasnt letting anything through. The filter has this plastic framework, that when not aligned blocks the holes to the banjo line.

How do I post pic?

this is how to post pics ->

linky

Also, just remove the inline filter from the stock line if you're keeping the stock oil line... but as the braided oil line (it's Earls, most likely, not pingtune) should have a removable/cleanable filter you can leave that in when replacing the stock oil line.

Thanks.

Oil supply-oil pressure gauge assembly.

This is how I removed it.

Nasty bracket

And this is the nasty bracket I could finally remove after the turbo was removed leaving place. Note Im using the bolt extractor as I had slightly rounded off the bolt. Came out like a breeze.

Now just waiting on all new parts to arrive.
