can't separate the exhaust housing on a Holset I just got, need some ideas
So, I got my H1C in the mail, and tried clocking it for my setup.. after I removed all the bolts and brackets holding it together, I still find the housing very much stuck on the center section.. i've tried blasting it with a can of wd-40, put it in a vice, beat it with a rubber mallet, a ball ping hammer, etc.
what the ---- is going on? this ---- is rusted solid, halp!

pb blaster > wd40 hit solid parts of it with a metal hammer every once in a while, while the pb blaster soaks in. It'll go, grasshopper, just give it time and brute, blunt physical force

I had to use a sledge hammer with liberal amounts of hard blows. Kinda like a fat chick, close your eyes and keep hitting it until you get your way.
Seriously, mine wasn't rusted and it was really sealed on there. You definately won't distort or crack the housing, just don't hit the v-band spot. It works like the hammer/ball-joint trick, although that never worked for me.
