Epic fastener failure...
1 Attachment(s)
Well, currently upgrading to a Garrett from my chinacharger and I had a local guy coming by to buy my chinacharger, so I figured, better get the thing off so he doesnt have to wait when he gets here. Peeled back my heatshield to reveal some epic JGS fastener fail that I was completely unaware of. :vash:
Attachment 197225 :facepalm: this was a JGS Turbo T3 mounting hardware kit (10x1.5mm), was a good price but obviously failed me, any suggestions? :facepalm: |

Machine shop time. One thing to try before anything else though, try just tapping on the broken stud in the turbine housing using a small punch or screw driver at the edge of it to turn it out. I saw a clutch pressure platew bolt removed this way last year and it was amazing. There will be a little burr in the stud still in the turbine housing, you just give that some very gentle tapps counter-clockwise to get it to turn and get the stud out.

I would have suggested:
Liquid Wrench overnight and a big pair of vicegrips... but it's already out. |

2 things to avoid this in the future:
Use copper anti-sieze. Don't overtorque them. I'm willing to bet that the first one would have prevented this. |
Were not talking the same anti-seize that you would use say on brake caliper slides?

No, this stuff will resist baking on at high temps.

After putting anti-sieze on every single bolt I touch on both of my cars I'm a much more pleasant person do be around during and after working on the cars.
