turbo center section ?

Hi all, just a question for you that have taken the stock turbo apart befor. How do you remove the center section from the exhaust housing. There are to bolts that I can't get out all of the way because they hit the center section where the oil goes into it. Any help would be cool. Thanks

Hit the turbine housing with a hammer to dislodge the bearing housing, then turn it to get the last two bolts out.

OR: take off all the turbine housings bolts so that the only ones left are the two below the flanges. Then turn those about 5 times and alternate, it will force the housing off

Thanks, I hit it with a hammer and then spun it to get to the other two bolts. It worked great.
