ok It didnt look like a 12 point to me. Had a brain freeze I guess its cold out there. While I have it off how hard is it to freshen up with one of those rebuild kits? Its the K03

You need to use a 3/8" socket or a cut down 1/2" one for the inner most bolts.

If you do decide to freshen up the turbo, check the shaft for wear. KO3s are known for dying.

or an offset 12mm 12pt. box end wrench works fine too.
