lone wolf

Went to local scrappy on Thursday to hunt down a replacement T28 for my slightly weird Nissan...Australian imported CA18DET engined Twin Spark ZX Turbo Bluebird in shades or red/pink.....

Found a likely donor, a 1996 200sx. Borrowed tools from the office and proceeded to remove the turbo. Got all bar one bolt to free off. Just one remaining one stubbornly refused to budge...several very unladylike mutterings later and the fecking thing still wouldn't budge. Eventually lost temper with it, socket slipped off the damn nut, ratchet flew upwards and socked me in the face...more very unladylike mutterings. Went to continue and felt the warm trickling down the face syndrome and big red splats landing on the turbo casing....

Decided to leave it to one of the lads with the faithful gas axe to remove...

Don't you just hate it when those damn bolts won't let go?

hit the head of the bolt a few times end on with a hammer, if you can't get to it directly then use a large drift or sacrifice a decent quality 1/2" extension bar.


Never removed a turbo from a nissan, but M20 exhaust bolts on a 25 yr old diesel generator silencer take some shifting.
