I unbolted it. But the last 2 are stuck. It can only come halfway up cause it's blocked

I often use the bolts pressing against the CHRA to actually press off the turbine housing. Tap it with a mallet on alternating sides to break it free. It's a VERY tight friction fit so don't expect it to just fall off. Penetrating oil such as PB Blaster works wonders.

if not get yourself a $20 propane torch from autozone and heat that sucker up for like 20-30 seconds, unless there's some part there that could be damaged that I didn't think about

i just use the 2 bolts that cant come out to push the turbine housing off.but make sure your lossen them evenly on each side so you dont damage your turbine wheel.
