This is a T3 out of a saab I believe, So I ripped the whole thing appart and cleaned it reall well sprayed it with some high temp paint and it is looking real good...This is my first time rebuilding one and I was real careful with everything, so i get a rebuild kit off of ebay and it includes everything put the new snap rings in (the inner one on the hot side was a real bitch) and then oil up the bearings real good and drop them in and then I try to put the turbine shaft back in and it won't fit through the new bearings, i figure it should be tight but these won't fit at all, is there a secret or ami missing something or did the guy just send me the wrong bearings...looking for some advice with someone who has done this, i have 2 different t3 and a t3/t4 and all the turbine shafts wouldn't fit...I am at work now but i will try and post some pictures later, thanks in advance...Matt

 

the bearings might be wrong. usually you have to check with the seller to make sure the rebuild kit is applicable. bearings alone should be around 10 bucks.

 

Yea, just my luck the guy wrote me back and said he bought the kit on ebay and his friend said it wasn't right so he sold it, just my luck, guess I'll need to get some new bearings

 

what a dipshit move

 

time for paypal! hha

 

Yea I'm gonna see if he is gonna send me new bearings if not gonna ask for some money back and if that dosen't work then I am gonna try and get my money back through paypal...anyone have new
bearings laying around
