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 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?

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.
