I am trying to remove my turbo and the nut and bolt is seized solid, i have used loads of wd40 and even tried to heat it up and still nothing, any advice is helpfull.

 

burning gear is usually needed

 

whats that then?

 

Oxy Acetelyne welding torch, or high temp blowtorch sometimes does (MAPP gas version, higher temp flame). Trick is to heat the nut more than the bolt if you can to force it to expand a bit more and release from the bolt. Good luck

 

Cheers mate

 

Get a mate to help and when you have heated the bolt put an old flathead/small pry bar by the bolt and give a little pressure to encourage it to unsrew. Worked on mine but took a bloddy long time.

 

LOL, too much heat and the head comes off the bolt though! Happened on mine, not too bad as you can then replace the nut and bolt with a decent one!

 

Id rather snap it than unscrew it lol

 

As said heat and some extra leverage and it should come undone. Turbo nuts can be an **** to undo due to the heat cycles that go through the studs, nuts & bolts At least it's a top one and it's easily accessible

 

Its under the actuator bit tho its a right w****r lol

 

That's nothing compared to the one underneath! We had to remove mine with a nut splitter and it took 2 hours after heat etc didn't work

 

Mine was an **** also, managed to get it off with a bar over the top of a spanner to give that extra leverage.

 

can you split the nut??

Had the same prob on my old TD05, had to actually drill it out in the end, took about 5 bloody hours to get that turbo off!

 

Why not remove the actuator (or un-clip and move the arm out the way) and put a dirty great breaker bar on it...

Like Paulo says at least it isn't one from the bottom, I would imagine that to be a beast of a job!!
