i tried to seperate the exhaust and intake housing apart to check the bearing but cant seem to take the exhaust ****** off. I took off the snap ring with Snap on finest snap ring pliers and i also removed the wastegate but still cant get the exhaust side off. any suggestions.

 

wow.... where do you live? i've never seen a pulsar turbo before.


anyways, im sure you're missing a bolt, hit it with a hammer.

 

Those bastards are really on there and the crud and rust don't help. Even with all the bolts out, it's still a bitch and a half to get it apart. I put mine in a 6" vise and whacked it with a mini bfh while pulling it with a pair of vicegrips locked on. I also soaked it in PB Blaster for like 30 minutes before hand.

 

bash it with a big ------- hammer

 

i did bash it with a big ------- hammer, and soak it in Pb for like 2 hours and nothing.Paterson,Nj

 

bash it harder! put it in the oven at 500 degrees for 3 hours. take it out and hit it with a hammer. metal expands when it is hot.
