If you remove the turbo you will probably find it will be easier to remove the broken section after soaking in wd40 or similar and griping the extended part at the back of the flange? Maybe..?

easy out it...piece of piss mate. You wont get any skills unless you start giving things ago yourself. Watching someone else do it helps, but you gotta get that mechanical/engineering 'feel' inorder to be half good at these things. That means practice or forever be paying someone else to do stuff for you

easy out it

Beat me to it

Don't go any where near it with a easy out mate, if you have never used one. If you break a easy out off in there then you are screwed. The material that easy out's are made of is REAL hard and you will have a hell of a time trying to get it out. Trust me I know from experience.

[Race__24]

If you do get an easyout stuck in there, just take the turbo, once unbolted, into your nearest toolroom and get them to burn it out with an EDM.

[Taso84]

Some mechanics also reccomend removing the head and taking them out. Its the more expensive way but at least its 100%

[R33S2]

Umm Taso84 its in the turbo...

Or a complete rebuild is always good

[fritter]

Do it urself. sprey wd40 or penetrene. let it soak for an hour or two and then use the largest drill you can safely use without threat of hitting your threads. best to use a pin puch to mark your drill point so drill will stay in centre. use the biggest possible easy out and make sure you buy the good brand and not cheap shit from the local $2 shop. Make sure you tap the easy out hard on the head to seat the easy out and also to shock to metal thread around the bolt you are trynig to remove. It really is an easy job and at the end of the day if you cant do it or you wreck it, THEN call someone to do it. Dont be scared to try as you are already in a position where you are thinking of calling someone. At the end of the day if you stuff it all up, you will still be in the same position you were in to start with ( i.e. having to call someone). SO give it a go. Nothing like working with your hands n building shit to fully appreciate being a man with skills, not a boy with a wallet.

oh and if you do snap it off dont worry. and good mech will have super hardened drill bits to drill the easy-out out and if you stuff the threads there are helicoils ( thread inserts to bring slogged out holes/threads back to their original sizes. To many pussy boys in here to scared or stupid to get their hands dirty.......

[r33_racer]

fritter and I think alike I like your style buddy!

[AlexCim]

yeh, i'd give it a go first too

ive done a few brake bolts but nothing that was on a block.

I think i may invest in some easy outs though. good ones

Have you ever tried to drill a broken easy out??? You can't. Super hard drill bit ??? Diamond and tungsten tip drill bit dont even touch them.

[dontfeelcold]

its safer to drill it out and then knock out the threads. if the head of the bolt/stud has sheared off due to the bolt/stud being locked in there really tight then there is a chance the easy out could brake.

[Adriano]

Action thread repairs is based in Berowra, he is very good and reasonably priced, sometimes its better to spend the $100-150 and save urself the grief if u dont have much experience with these things

[C_DawG]

Use left hand twist drill bits if you try to drill it, half the time they snag and screw the bolt out before you even use an easy out.
