I'm trying to swap out my manifold and turbo, but I can't get the last turbo to mani bolt out. I've put half a can of PB blaster on this bolt alone, and it just won't budge. I really need to get this done by tomorrow, so what are my options at this point? Should I try to break the bolt with a breaker bar or give up and tow it to someone who can melt/cut/nuke it off?
Or is it worth it to me to invest in some air tools and a compressor.
 
How long did you let the PB Blaster soak on the stuck bolt? Have you tried "Liquid Wrench" before? One way is heating up the bolt with a torch then try loosening it with a wrench. You could try a combination of heating the bolt up then using a breaker bar to get the bolt off.
 
my suggestions...just break it.:thumb:


As he said isn't that bad of an idea but you' have to worry about it when its out, would could always try a 14mm deep well impact socket and electric impact or a 3/4 breaker car with a 3/4/-1/2 adpater works for me when I used to have that problem when you put it back in use anti seize, if you need the impact I live in farmington hills and can provide the help or equipment.:thumb: :D

Appreciate the offer man, but I heated it up a bit and the breaker bar got it. :thumb:
