Turbo Compressor removal

I'm rebuilding my turbo and i need a quick favor.
I have it all taken apart and I need the cold compressor side off...
I have the nut off but I cant pull the wheel off.. I've tried to spin it while holding the hot side but nothing works.
I've also tried gripping the cold side and slightly pulling on it but nothing...
any help please

Its siezed onto the turbine shaft. Try heating it up with a heat gun. I wouldnt recommend using a torch, but if thats all you have.....

That thread is from 04 if you don't get a reply maybe PM the thread poster and find out what happened . It's probably just stuck a bit . Most turbos go to a shop for work be careful .
