Ive been looking everywhere to find a thread of "how to" replace the gasket the easiest way possible. All I have been able to find that's remotely close is threads on "how to remove turbo for flapper upgrade."If I can avoid pulling off the whole turbo and all the oil return lines and coolant lines I would much prefer that , I dont have a hoist but I do have a quality jack. If anyone can put me in the right directions it would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Edited 11/08/15 06:45 AM by Bigg_kayz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just unbolt it and being a ba remove the studs,slip a new gasket in the reinstall the studs and nuts. Should only take a half hour or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 10m 6d Gender: Male Posted 11/08/15 12:53 PM Share Posted 11/08/15 12:53 PM It seems there was a leak there somewhere. You need to take the cover off to establish where. Dont take the dump off till you establish its there. You can drive around without the cover so take your time. Sometimes you get a hose and put it to your ear to pinpoint the location. Sometimes expecially when cold you can put your hand around there and feel it.You sometimes need a bit of force on those bolts but Reducteur which you can buy at bunnings $20 is the best stuff for rusty bolts but I dont think you need it for this.Use genuine gasketYou will find one of the bolts a PIA on the flange dump. The bottom one you may need to modify a closed end spanna by grinding it down to fit.You will need to take the dump off to weld in another bung and also if you want to check if the flange face is true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
