Hey guys does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the bolt out of the hot side of the turbo under the oil drain I rounded it off has anyone had this problem???????

u can take it to a muffler shop and have them weld something on to the head of the bolt and turn it out

vice grips

Take the turbo off, re-clock it to make space for bolt extractors.

Locking vice grips, lots of PB blaster.

1992s13hatch · 07-07-2012, 01:43 AM

How do you re clock it ?

*fliprayzin240sx* · 07-07-2012, 02:19 AM

Loosen the bolts to the back of the housing, maybe knock it slightly lose if the rubber mallet since some turbos have a sealant on the housing.

Most places sell a drill bit set that extracts studs or broken parts.

It drills a tiny hole and then you use the other part to grip in the hole and reverse it out.

Sorry, I don't have the name of it, not at home ATM...

1992s13hatch · 07-07-2012, 07:00 AM

Yea I know what your talking about I think there easy outs

Which fucking sucks cuz they have a tendency to snap off inside the studs. Ask me how I know...

blessedhellrider · 07-07-2012, 01:08 PM

grinder, grind to a size that fits open end wrench or heat up and hammer a socket on to it.

Drifting Kalamari · 07-07-2012, 08:24 PM

Never had a problem with mine snapping! I think it was called the Grabber?...

I'd probably try and apply heat to the bolt before extracting

jedi03 · 07-08-2012, 12:31 AM

ive ground them off...it works too...i also have a set from snapon thats just a socket, may have to pull turbo an manifold out to get it off tho...

Contract_Killer · 07-08-2012, 12:38 AM

vice grip or take a grinder and cut a groove in the head and back it out with a flat head screw driver
