Hey guys I need your help again, Well im getting my dump pipe made today and I need to figure out somthing that has to do with the oil drain, now I need it to point streight down however I cant seem to undo all 6 bolts holf the compressor housing to the hotside, now is there a special tool I could use to get this, the reason I ask is because one of the hotside bolts is right behind the oil drain flang and its a really tight space!
A regular open faced wrench should work. Should be 13mm or 12mm bolts. Free the 2 bolts you can, then loosen the remaning 2 as much as you can. You should then be able to rotate the bearing housing enough at that point to remove them completely.
Waited 13 minutes!! For mine, I "borrowed" a set of stubby wrenches, which make getting in there a little bit easier. They are really pretty small. You'll actually be able to turn the wrench once it's on the bolt too. Good luck there RmR.
