Alright since you guys have been so helpful on my tranny removal, maybe someone has done the turbo before and hopefully your experience can help me out.

I am just 1 bolt away from removing the turbo but I just can't seem to crack it lose so if you've done it before let me know what tool combination did you use to get this bolt off. Its the bolt that holds the hot (cast iron) side to the block right above the transfer case.

here is a picture of the bolt i'm talking about.

thanks in advance!

Haven't done this yet but I would spray some lube let it sit for a bit and try a breaker bar with the extension. Maybe that might help sorry if it doesn't.

Yeah I've broke 2 extensions already trying to turn it with a breaker bar so I'm thinking maybe you don't need that many extensions or you're able to get it from a different angle. This is what I've been using 14mm deep socket -> universal joint -> 12" extension -> breaker bar and I've broke 2 extensions.

Damn man I dont know then P.S. I hope they were craftsmen get new ones.

Might want to try soaking it with PB blaster overnight to get it off, that's what my mechanic had to do with mine.

Can you get a 14mm 1/2"drive impact swivel socket and extension on it?

Well I'm soaking it with pb blaster right now and try it tomorrow morning but what tools did you guys or your mechanics used to turn it. Thanks!

I busted my face trying to brake it loose.... It broke loose finally. PB bast all you can or get and air tool.

PB Blaster is the most used spray in my shop..its good shit

haha..
