Use an accet. torch . Get that bish red hot.

Had the same problem, Acetylene torch did the trick.. Or just spray it with PB Blaster and let it sit for a while then use a flat punch and hammer to spread it apart.. What I did on another turbo as well..

Doing this, you run the risk of breaking the bearing housing or exhaust housing "lips."
