Question tips for removing hot section of turbo

Trying to port, but the hot section WILL not come off, Tried PB blaster and a dead blow hammer. Any other tips?

Read the turbo rebuild how-to I posted in this thread. It explains how to do it.

Other than using the bolts to pull it off as suggested in that link, you can use your hammer and alternate sides you hit so as not to damage the turbine when the housing comes off.

That's why you use the bolts, you can apply far more force that way. Heating it up with a gas torch will make the job easier.
