Hey guys
Ive been working on my car since yesterday, trying to replace the lim gasket.
Anyway, im now trying to get my turbos off, first time doing so, and im stuck with this one stubborn stud i cannot seem to get off. any suggestions? ive tried wd-40 and also tried torching it, but it just wont budge. any help would be great, thanks!

Soak it with some PB Blaster. Wait a little bit and then try it again.

Many people have had good luck with PB Blaster. Spray a few coats on it, and let it soak for a few hours.

Try torching it and getting one of those cans of air and hold it upside down to freeze it right after you've heated it up. After you do the PB Blaster route though.

Gotta be careful though. Ive seen one of my friends break 2 of the studs. Its not fun having to get whats left of them out of the housings with the engine still in the car.
