Right everyone not long ago I had to buy another 2nd hand turbo for my car due to the oil seals going in the old one. Had no problems taking the old one off. Used the 12mm socket for the bolts that hold the cat on etc. But when putting it all back together I lost the gasket for the oil feed pipe and as a temporary fix used a bit of cardboard the same shape as the flange. Now obviously the gasket I made didn't last and I had a new gasket by this time. So I started to work on putting the real gasket in. As I had finished and started up the car to male sure it was all ok, it started leaking. So I switched the car off and tightened up the nuts a bit more. But as I did that. The thread on the stud closest to the engine had basically worn away and I now can't tighten the oil feed up properly. I tried taking the turbo off to get at the stud easier but the weird shaped nuts holding the cat on the turbo now don't want to come off and keep spinning with the 12mm socket. So I can't get the oil feed off cos the nut just keeps turning no matter which way I go. I can't take the cat off to give myself enough room to get the turbo off. I'm a bit stuck as to hom I'm gonna sort this problem out. Can anyone shed some light on how else I could get the turbo off or get the stud out with barely any room to work with?
Thanks!
Thanks!
