Big hammer/chisil/crowbar/large screw driver...ive used them all to try and seperate.

2 studs came out but on the last only the nut came off the stud is this right?

Sometimes the nut does get "welded" to the stud but it will still seperate, they can be a right bitch though.

All 3 studs should still be in mate but to get them seperated i have had to get a big hammer and flat head screw driver and give it some serious abuse.

Doesn't matter if the stud comes out or the nut comes off, try a little WD40 around the edge of the downpipe if it's being stubborn, leave it half an hour and then give it some abuse with your hammer/screwdriver combo again. Mine came off pretty easily but I suspect that it's been off before.

You got to remember if your turbo has never been off its 2 bits of metal being welded together with massive heat for the last 13yrs!!!, just beat it harder lol.

Well it is saturday night after all.

[T5frankie]

Well ive got the old turbo out and arrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggh encountered another problem (well half caused it lol) one of the studs was spinning where the turbo bolts to the manifold and i couldn't get it out and it wouldn't tighten either so after "getting my 'ammer on it" i broke the stud inside the hole with no way of getting the broken bit out ffs this is doing my swede in now.

Just take the mani off and i will get that me7 one off for you, wont be before this weekend though mate as im only getting the unit tommorrow and got to drop the sub-frame before i take anything off.

See you at avon in a 850 then?

the studs broke in the turbo not manifold mate, i wanted to try and bring both cars cos the 850 will be getting remapped and the v70 will have the 19t on it (well was hoping to), how hard is it to do the manifold with the turbo off?

You can get the stud drilled out and then have to recut the thread, but if your not using the 18t for moment dont worry about it.

As always its the access to the bolts...if you have the right sockets/short extensions/spanners etc its ok to get out just 10 bolts i think, the pain is getting the gaskets on when you replace if they are single ones x5, i would highly recommend getting a single long one or you will end up throwing stuff around like me and effing alot lol. I think "sconeman" the american bloke that does the short shifter kits has just brought one out.

Oh gawd, that's the sort of thing I normally do. Get it drilled out and re tapped, easy job if you know what your doing.

so best to do it from underneath? i only have ramps

Likewise, I only have the usual jack,axle stands etc.
whats the best way to get the car up, without using those subframe mounts
to put the stands under???

I'm trying to change the anti -roll bar, unless someone knows of an easier way?
