i'm taking the wheel, backing plate, and housing off a .60 trim t-bird turbo, and i have one question. what do you guys use to hold the wheel while taking the nut off so it doesn't spin just a vise grips on the end of the exhaust wheel?

 

i forget what size, but i used a socket on the exhaust wheel. vise grips wont work they just slip

 

depending on how ground up the nut on the turbine is, you can either use vise grips or put in a vise. To get the compressor wheel to come off without damaging it, take the nut off it, take the compressor cover off, and take out the 4 bolts for the backing plate, and tap gently around the backing plate with a hammer to tap the compressor wheel off.

 

does it have reverse threads like the rhb5's

 

nope

 

also u know to mark the compressor wheel and shaft right?

this way its still balanced when u put it back toghther.
