So I just bought an hx35. It has the BEP housing already installed. It has a tad more shaft play than I like to see side-to-side. But no rubbing and no in-out play.
I want to tear it down and inspect everything before I install it. Can't seem to get the comp wheel off the shaft. Tried heating it with map gas, wrapping a rag around it and turning it. It actually turned a good 180 degrees or so getting more and more difficult as it went. Now I can't get to to budge. I repeated this 4-5 times using PB blaster the entire time with no luck. The housing is also rusted to the center section. Tried heat and oil on that as well with no luck. I gave up in fear of breaking it and left it to soak.
Any suggestions?
Turbo was VERY dirty. Actually cleaned up pretty nice. Cleaned a few nicks out of the blades and gave it a good wash.
Thanks all...
