I dont know if you tried it, but you should remove the whole turbo from the car to work on it properly... you will get it all apart with persistance but you'll have to have it on hte bench.

Good luck :-)

if you are NOT a retard, once you get the turbo off the car, it will be quite appearent what needs to come apart. i fixed my K24 in about an hour, and that was including pulling it and putting it back on. my wastegate was stuck. K24 turbos are retardedly simple. the whole wastegate comes out as one piece, its a beautiful design. then you just hit the WG shaft with lube of your choice, and start working the WG face back and forth, there should be a big allen head in the middle of it.

turbos are very simple, they usually only have one or 2 moving pieces.

I totally agree. I love it when my friends go off on BOV's and waste gates and fuel/air ratio and oil coolers and adding forged pistons because they are turbo-ing their civic DX hatch back and making an astonishing 90ft.lbs torque and 115hp (which i think is exagerated) at like 7,000 rpm. And that car cost them many many thousands. and it's just as old as mine. oh and two door. and gets half the mileage.
god i love diesel
