Resolved 1G Tial waste gate stuck on flange?

[NeMiZiS]

I have both vband clamps removed and this waste gate will not come off!
What is the trick here?

Pretty clean set up. Try tapping the flange so it can rotate with a rubber mallet or piece of wood

I tried tapping it with a small block of wood and a dead blow hammer.
Didn't budge, it came installed on the O2 housing and I've never removed it before.I will try again after work today.

Perhaps adding some liquid wrench in between should crack it loose. I bet it seized from the heat cycles. I always add some high temp copper antiseize on the inside and out.

Let it run and get it hot. Then try again

I got it off! It just needed a little more persuasion than I thought!
Thanks for the replies.
