Question Need to clock my turbo - frozen up?

I got a 92 ctd engine and I flipped the manifold so it would clear, need to reclock the turbo but it won't budge. Unloosened the 4 bolts holding it in position but it won't budge at all. Any input greatly appreciated.

They dont just fall off after you unbolt them. Gotta beat on it a little.

Penetrating oil, patience, and a BIG dead blow hammer. A torch may also become necessary.

When hitting it with a hammer, make sure the bolts are only about a half turn loose. If they are too loose, and the hammer is too aggressive, the turbine could hit and bend it's fins on the inside of the exh. housing.

man i just went through 3 turbos in a row dont ask why butt you have to have patience with these things lots of penetrating oil and patience will get the job done unless some one pulled a prank and tack welded it to the manifold
