seperating the turbo from the housing?
How do I seperate the turbo from this housing that holds the wastegate? I have tried just about everything I can think of but it looks just the same everyday.
Is there a special tool I am missing, an techniques I should try, anything??? Thanks for the help!
Hit it with a rubber mallet or tap it with a hammer, try using wd40 or similar. The housing is actually suppose to be able to rotate, but it stuck on there. I took mines apart to peep the wategate to make sure there werent any cracks or anything.

Do not hit it on its side"like trying to pry it off" I have found it is better to hit it like you are rotating the housing. Does this make sense to you? It works real well.

sorry, it was a dumb question because I tried doing what you all suggested b4 you even responded and it popped right off. Wastegate is ported and turbos are ready for reinstall
