Re: does this drain line look ok
^ok, ima give it another try,
but one quick question. i just took out the bolts for the compressor side, (not the part i had already taken off) and now the compressor wheel will not spin whatsoever. is that normal? im gonna put the bolts back on and see if it spins again. and try to clock it again.
thanx

Re: does this drain line look ok
you have all the bolts loose, that's good. you need to bang the back side of the compressor with a mallet (hammer it towards the driver side fender according to your picture). it will eventually break loose and take all the slack out of the bolts, at which point you can loosen them some more and break the center section loose, and no, you don't have to take the bolts out all the way, just take one out to see how long it is, then take the other one's out about half way (you wouldnt' really know how far was half way if you don't take one out to see how long it is 
)
)

im really startin to think that the bolts have to be taken out. i am hittin the center section pretty hard with the sledge hammer, and it is not budgin one bit!! im not really frustrated anymore, but im just tryin to think how else could this be possible. but its really not budgin, and im hittin pretty damn hard for reals.

You don't need to take the back plate off... tighten those 10mm bolts back down to the back plate and make sure your compressor wheel spins freely. Then put the compressor housing back on there and keep working on breaking it free.
Sucks you are having such a hard time with something that should take < 2 minutes.
