Right on my V the 2 bolts that hold the intercooler pipe to the turbo are both cross threaded and 1 of them i cant even get the nut off (i must of done it trying to undo them or somthing?). I now need to replace the gasket but cant get the nuts off so what can i do to get them off? Also how easy are these bolts to replace?

any help would be appreciated!

Im not a 100% but u could cut the nuts off so u can replace gasket n get intercooler pipe off, etc. then...this is wot im not 100% on......u can poss remove the threaded stud from the turbo, then simply go buy new ones from toyota.

....just my opinion :p


can someone verify that the threaded studs come off the turbo flange???

the studs on the ct9 do come out, with regards to getting the nut off just get yourself a 6 sided socket so it dont round get a breaker get some leverage & take the thing off, you may find the stud will come out with the nut, if it does you can just put the stud in a vice & remove the nut simples. To get you out of trouble untill the studs come if you damage it, you could always fit a nut & bolt, if the thread on the turbo is damaged & re-tapping it doesnt solve it you can always helicoil it.

Im pretty sure the thread on the turbo is ok, just the thread on the stud.

Do toyota sell the studs? If so any 1 got a part number? il have a search too but just incase nothing comes up :)

can't see why they wouldn't do it, it's simple out no more than an hours work, if you cannot remove the nut then you more than likely have to cut it off, get a nut splitter or some heat on them.

Is there enough thread to put another bolt on, tighten it again the bolt that wont come off, try an unscrew it and it will take the stud out.

if you can get your hands on a stud extractor it will come out no bother.. that or use a vice grips....re drill and use diferent nuts and bolts.. use lock nuts if you are doin this.. this is what i did with no problems..
