Hey all! So I recently picked up a 15g turbo from an 850 turbo, and am currently setting it up to install on my 1990 760. I?ve disassembled it, have a general idea on how I?m gonna set the wastegate up, and have it clocked in roughly the right orientation. My biggest hurdle is removing the two damn studs where it bolts to the manifold. I?ve hit it with heat and pb blaster and tried turning them out with vice grips. No dice. My next step was welding nuts onto the studs to turn them that way, still no dice, either the weld wouldn?t hold, or it would just break the studs. Finally I clamped the studs into a bench vise and tried turning the turbo itself. I ended up breaking the stud on the first attempt, and on the second attempt it actually broke the vice itself. How did you guys manage to remove these damn studs?? Any help is appreciated as my luck is the ?easiest? part always kicks my ass!
