I am just 1 bolt away from removing the turbo but I just can't seem to crack it lose so if you've done it before let me know what tool combination did you use to get this bolt off. Its the bolt that holds the hot (cast iron) side to the block right above the transfer case.

I've broke 2 extensions already trying to turn it with a breaker bar so I'm thinking maybe you don't need that many extensions or you're able to get it from a different angle. This is what I've been using 14mm deep socket -> universal joint -> 12" extension -> breaker bar and I've broke 2 extensions.

here is a picture of the bolt i'm talking about.



thanks in advance!

 

my buddies had a hard time getting mine off also. we eventually borrowed this big *** 1/4" impact i believe with 2 extension and a swivel. but the beefy impact did the trick. i would have to ask my friend because they did the work for me.

 

i dont see any pb blaster run off, did you use it?

 

I second that soak it for a day, it might help, at the worst it wont do anything.

 

is that the hidden one at the bottom? If so I used a swivel and a half inch with a LONG extension

 

If I remember correct thats what I did too

 

So I soaked it with PB blaster over night and came right off the next morning. Thanks for all the advices!

 

Ya, I had to use TWO swivels with black tape on them to keep them rigid to get that one on and off. It's a beating fo-sho.
