I'm having a little trouble removing a sheard off bolt in my current turbine housing.
Any one have a useable one (no broken bolts) they'd like to sell?
I'll check but I think mine is a T3
Never mind.
I got it out.
With a snapped off drill bit in it and all.
I welded a nut onto it, and after a couple trys, out it came.
Color me happy!
Lucky you, I couldn't get the exhaust housing off my cartridge to save my life, even messed up one of the holes and cant get a bolt back in it
I used my torch with a welding tip on it. I got the bolt head glowing red, then let it cool slightly and then use a box end wrench/socket to slowly work it loose. I had to chisel off one of the clamp plates so I could get the heat into the bolt threads. My biggest problem was that the bolt heads were so corroded that I had to use 3 different sizes - 13mm, 12mm and 11mm. On the last one, I used an 11mm 1/4 drive socket with a 1/4 square key and a tiny cresent wrench and the torch technique. I spread this over 3 evenings so I didn't get too pissed off and do something I shouldn't. I didn't think I was ever going to get them out. Couldn't have done it without the torch.
Yup, I used the gas axe too. This is the third K24 that I've rebuilt. I don't even try to loosen the bolts with out heat. Heat to bright red, and as soon as it turns black again, put a wrench on it. Then toss em into the garbage. Mine corroded down to 12mm.
I might have put the wrench on the one that sheared a little early. :roll:
I am looking for the hot side of a k24 turbo with this flange pattern
I broke a bolt and would like to find a new/USED turbine housing
I dont think im going to need a waistgate just yet but then again if you have one of those I may be into buying it togethor
please let me know what you have..
