2G Cant get turbo coolant banjo bolt off

Dawson159 · Aug 14, 2018

I’ve been trying for an hour and I’m starting to strip the bolt the space is so tight and the only thing I can get half on there is a huge 22mm wrench anyone have a better way?

The banjo bolt that connects the coolant return line to the turbo

Have you tried pulling the cooling fans out? That usually gives you a few extra inches to use a socket that'll fit on it

Should be able to use a socket on that. Forgot how tight that spot is. It's not stripped yet.

Was gonna say you can take the waste gate off. Glad you got it off
