Im in the process of rebuilding my turbo but i have a problem one of the bolts is stripped and i cant get it out if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

my friend tried an easy off socket we didn't have any luck its in a real tight spot i asked him about pb blaster said it wouldn't make a difference what kind of tool whould you suggest.

Why would it not make difference? If it's seized in that good, it'll help.

Wouldn't make a difference? I beg to differ. That's what helped me get mine off. I've removed mine three times and rebuilt it as well.

heat is your friend and so is pb blaster or similar.

[nova1972]

is it safe to use heat since its on the engine

[terryknight]

yes, just don't heat anything that will burn ie wiring
