Gettin The Exhaust Housing Off A T04

[glenneaux]

Hey,

Got a garrett t04e here for my falcon (yeah yeah) anyway...

How do i get the exhaust housing off? the compressor housing is a piece of piece but not so for the exhaust side...

I'm wanting to get it off so i can give it to my gf's bro so he can take it to work and make up the flanges.

I undid all the bolts on it but it didnt budge.. what am I missing? Does the exhaust wheel have to come off? (dont really wanna pull the wheels off..)

the turbo is identical to this one just has a different compressor housing....

Any ideas of what its off? it has a weird exhaust flange, haven't seen it anywhere else but there and on my turbo..

I am also trying to get the exhaust housing off a turbo to no avail.

You need to take out all the bolts and lubricate between the CHRA and housing using penetrating lubricant. WD40 or CRC.

leave it to soak for an hour and tap all sides of the housing closest to the CHRA using a rubber mallett.

I have no idea if this is the best way. I got the instructions of a cummins diesel website.

It has'nt worked for me tho, and i am worried if i use excessive force i will damage the turbo.

ummm...

my turbo is new (i think) ie never used.. when I undo the bolts the housing rotates just it wont come off.. as i said i'm guessing the exhaust turbine is holding it on...
