Well so my boyfriend and i are putting on my turbo kit and we can't seem to get the bolt that is right next to alternator off. I was hoping there was a way to get it off without taking the alternator off. We already tried wobbling it but we can't get enough room to get ratchet on. Please help!

Thanks

 

you need a 12" wrench.....thats what i used

 

that bolt should come off very easily with a 12MM wrench.... a 12in wrench doesnt exist and you just have to get enough torque on it.....

 

haha i just installed my kit this weekend and had the same problem.. you'll need a wrech that fits on to it and have your bf hold it onto it near the bolt then hit it with a hammer lightly to loosen it.. it will come off! wd-40 the ____ out of it!

 

Well we had already tried a 12mm wrench there was just not enough room. and we tapped it with a hammer. this is when i needed some help.

 

it took us a while to do it but it finally came off. get a real good fit on the wrench to the bolt then swear and cuss a bit then hit it one good one and thats how i got it! good luck though. what kit you got?

 

I got a custom made kit. With a T3 turbo and a Greddy type S BOV. I'm going to only run 5 psi for now until i get fuel management.

 

Hey I used a little cheat pipe extension on the wrench to get enough torque on the bolt.... try that

 

Well we just got it off with a $40 snap on wrench. I guess it pays to have good tools ;)

 

another boosted tC in HR????? Its about time,

 

yeah i can't wait to be out on the street

 

If you need help, let me know, I know a guy thats good w/ tC's..... also if you need a tune done, talk to Ross at DynoTunedPerformance in chesapeake... he did my tune on emanage....

 

Yeah, i will def let you know if i do. I tried taking the s pipe off last night but that didn't happen. it is really rusted on. so this morning is the day for that.
