Getting the turbo apart

[Justin]

how the hell do I pull the exhaust housing off the rest of the turbo? I've undone the circle clamp holding it together, but the housing seems to be rusted to the center part, i've used WD40, a rust eater, but the damn thing still won't budge... i've even held a heat gun on there for about 10 minutes... any suggestions?


(I'm trying to get it apart to see why it siezed)

Same thing with mine. I put wd40, penetrating oil, etc. Tried hammering on it for days, the bastard still wouldn't budge.

I gave up and took it to a shop.

But, they say heat and a hammer will get it off. Good luck.
