PB Blaster is your friend. Coat whatever bolts you plan on working on the day before you actually do the work. Make sure to use only 6 point sockets and stay away from wrenches whenever possible. An impact is also nice since it doesn't put constant torque on the bolt head's corners and will not round them off... It may however snap the head off the bolt.

using 6 point. using an impact. using a oil based bolt product. these bolts are just rusted bad. gunna spray more on and tackle it tomorow.

PB Blaster works where everything else fails. WD-40 can't touch it. Letting it soak is key so tomorrow should go better for you.

pb blaster helps, but it cant work magic on rounded bolts.
go to sears and but a set of craftsman bolt outs. get the full set that can do 10m- 17m. striped bolts will never be a problem again!

How in the world did you manage that? I don't think I've EVER rounded off a nut or bolt using a 6-point socket.
Do you have a breaker bar?

no clue man. just my luck i guess. i even re filed a nut 1mm smaller so i could use a fresh socket on it. 13mm. and it still just got all mashed up. in the end i grinded it out. just cut the head off.

I think it's obvious that spraying oil on a rounded off bolt isn't going to help it
. The Craftsman Bolt-Out set is however, the best thing since sliced bread.

supposedly they tried upgrading their parts...
but it's still a lucky issue if it works
heard real bad stuff about their turbos(w/ a few exceptions)

glad to see you're comin along...very fast too

the welds arent the whole problem with those. the real isse is that they are made of really thin gauge stainless that might crack after a while. who cares tho, put it on, and see how long it lasts. at least we will have someone who did some real world testing on it.

Yeah I will make two statements. Nothing turbo related since it's far from my field.
If you plan on working on a car, PB Blaster is always something you should have on hand. It will do wonders, it has a few applications too, read the bottle.
Craftsman tools from Sears are awesome. Lifetime warranty I THINK.

got the awd tranny off. the 5speed 5s tranny should be on later today.
everything is coming together pretty well so far.
whats left? put the engine harness on.
drop it in. and attach all the crap. right?
yeah manny it fits fine the only thing that hit was the bracket that the chains attach to to lift the motor out.
i just grinded a few mm's off. fits fine.
