You cannot rebuild these things you need a new center section.

you can send them to Garrett and they can rebuilt them. Or you can buy a new center section.

As long as for the non ballbearing center section, you can use it, if the wheels are the same size.

GT series does not mean baller bearing. The majority of Garrett GTxx turbos are regular journal bearing units, I highly doubt baller bearing accounts for 1% of total GT-series sales.

Ball bearing CHRAs can not be rebuilt. You have to order another CHRA.

I wasn't questioning whether or not you had baller bearing. I was supplying information to counterbalance the erroneous title and content of this thread.
