Im trying to turn the center of my IHI RHB5 (triangular exhaust inlet) 180 degrees. The center is stuck on the exhaust side and wont break loose. Do I have a pin holding the center in place? If not how do I break it loose? torch? Freeze it? Anything?

Thanks

 

that turbo is shot. You'll need to get it rebuilt

 

Haha, I hope you got a good deal.

No not the shaft. It all spins freely. Im talking about the center where the oil is fed into as well as the coolant. My oil inlet is mounted on the bottom of the turbo when it is on the manifold and I need the inlet to point up. Therefor the center of the turbo (between the charge side and exhaust side) need to be clocked 180 degrees.

 

use a BFH and it'll turn

 

Make sure all the bolts are loose and wack that ****** with a hammer. It might take a good beating to break loose.

so I don't have any pins that are keeping it from turning? Where should I hit it with a hammer?

 

BFH. Big ------- hammer?

 

bingo, I had the same problem and I just beat it like it owed me money and it broke free

 

so where should I hit it at though? I don't want to ---- it up.
