Stubborn bolts
I'm doing my X turbo swap at the moment and im finding some of the bolts impossible to deal with.. ive been using wd40, is there any other sprays or lubricants anyone could recommend that might do the trick?
Australia's sexiest blacked out ralliart
evo x turbo, ets intercooler, turbosmart wga, aem intake, ur intercooler piping, ur turbo back exhaust, 3port
don\'t use multi hex sockets only use a single hex socket. Less chance of rounding the nut off.
90% of all evo x turbos have a bolt snapped. seems to be a common thing
In a workshop situation if all else failed id use a small cutting disc on a die grinder and just cut the nut off
Not sure if possible but heating the nut till its red hot then dumping a soaking wet rag on it will loosen it aswell

At work we use rost off made by wurth. I don't know where you buy it but it has never failed me yet. On turbo bolts though I don't know how it would go.

By the sound of his username I'd be inclined to let him have a go at it!!!

In a class scenario if all else unsuccessful id use a little reducing disk on a die grinding machine and just cut the nut off . . . Not sure if it is possible but warming the nut until its red hot then disposing a immersing wet rag on it will release it as well

Hi everyone,
Seen this type of SPAM activity before on rcolt.com, just felt something should be done about it before malicious code is inserted into the forums and knocks the forum out.
Also I urge forum members to be more proactive and help protect the forum from SPAMMERS by identifying them and reporting them to Admin.
Admins please remove my posts once it's dealt with.
