Removing 16g turbine housing

[TimF]

I cant get me the compressor cover off my 16g. The snap ring is off and it wont budge. I tried spraying it with penetrating oil, letting the oil soak over night, and beating it with a rubber mallet. It is still stuck on. Surprisingly the turbine housing came off real easy. What else would I do to get the thing off with out damaging the turbo. Sorry I messed up the title, I meant comp housing.

Try using a dead blow rather than a rubber mallet. The o-ring used to seal can be very stubborn some times.

^ What he said. Use a dead blow, but hit the compressor housing evenly, as if you #### it too much, it could bend fins.
