Help Removing R32 Gtr Turbos

[Kaido_RR]

Hi,

I am in the processes of removing my r32 gtr turbo however i stuck atm, i am trying to remove the following pipe

However it won't move, i have try spraying it with WD40, heating it up, smashing it with a hammer and still it won't move :S

As you can see it is starting to get semi round, as i don't want to keep bashing it and make it completely round

Anyone have any tips?

You could try buying a good quality pipe spanner and using that... or is the other end of the pipe disconnected? if yes, could u get a ring spanner on from the other end? give up with the open ended spanner for now... good luck

are you having trouble undoing the bolt/nut on the end of the pipe? or have u undone it and just can get the pipe out of that flange?

if u are having trouble undoing the bolt, stop playing with a open ender, either go buy one of the ring type spaners with the small cut out in the end so u can fit it over the pipe, OR go buy the right size ring spaner to fit it, grab a small grinder 4-5inch and some thin cut off blades, messure the thickness of that pipe, and cut a small slot out of the end of the spaner the size u messured, than slot it over and try shocking it loose by hiting the spaner with a rubber hammer

that will turn it off.

if not unbolt it from the other end and take it all out when u take the turbo off.....

try vice grips and a hammer, you should not heat threads

I had the same problem on mine. Flare nut spanner (which is what you should be using to give yourself any chance at all) just flexed open around it. I ended up cutting the pipe off and using a socket to get it off Replacements from Nissan... Good luck.

went and bought a flare nut spanner but still no go.

ended up smashing vice grips + big bar and finally got it off, nut section is in not so good condition now lol, so off to nissan tomorrow for a new pipe also lol

When U swapped mine I undid the banjo in middle and front hose in front and bent it very slightly out of way as It would not move at all. Not ideal but has worked fine, no leaks on reinstall etc

You could have just taken off the bracket that holds them and goes behind the head, it's rubber hoses behind there and it gives you plenty of movement and space to remove the turbos. It worked for me with no damage or hassles.

hey guys,

were up to the point where we need to remove the front turbo bracket, both oil drians and the rear turbos bolt (the one closerest to the block right at the back).

any tips on getting these?

cheers
