I am trying to take my stock turbo off to check things out because i believe its going out. The last nut i have to get off is on the manifold. This nut wouldnt come off and is now stripped. it is on the top the manifold towards the front side of the truck. There is very little room to get anything other than a wrench on this nut. How can i get this sucker off being stripped?

 

tanner you got yourself in a pickle the only thing i can tell you if you can get a hammer and chistle in there then yu might get it loose

 

get on one of the edges with a air hammer and see if that wont bust er loose

 

you could also try a little heat might help

 

everything is coated in pb blaster

 

is there enough room to get an extractor on it?

 

I beat that thing like a red headed step child with a chisel. found a torch then hammered a smaller size wrench on it and it broke loose! thanks guys for the help.

 

that was gonna be my next sugestion, we use to pound a smaller socket on it, then run it in reverse, till it gets real hot, wait a min, then usually would back right off.

 

Glad you got it!

 

I appreciate it guys. I got a chip in my turbo tho Guess i aint buyin a new rifle this year
