I found 1 missing on my BA whilst attempting to fit a new wastegate actuator, apparently it's quite common. Anyone have an idea on the size of the stud? It's the lower left one. Also, I'm having trouble getting the two lower H frame bolts undone. They're so bloody tight, Using a ring or a socket doesn't seem to make a difference, they both feel like they're rounding the heads. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Oh and that bottom right stud is a *beep* of a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to use a 6 tooth socket, not a 12 tooth one as it grips tighter, be deliberate and slow with your movements to make sure it doesn't slip onto a bad angle.The studs are M10x1.25 on one side and M10x1.5 on the other. The 1.5 end goes into the manifold and the 1.25 allows for a finer thread and more torque.Do as Jet said to get the bottom-right stud out. If you can't get a good purchase on it, then take the whole manifold and turbo off in one piece and separate the turbo and manifold when out of the car.

I just bought a set of Kincrome combination ring spanners thinking they would be adequate. I wish I'd learnt about Metrinch sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dez72 Member 29 Member For: 10y 11m 21d Gender: Male Location: Cairns Posted 10/07/14 07:02 AM Share Posted 10/07/14 07:02 AM That's the first bit of negative feedback I've heard regarding Metrinch. I ended up getting some Kincrome bolt extractors which work well however I can't get on to the left hand H frame bolt. The one sitting in the engine mount. There's just not enough room. Any ideas on what I can use to get the bugger out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get a socket onto it but can't connect anything onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
