I have just recently bought a 200sx. I am confused on how to take off the turbo now to rebuild it because there is one bolt on the header I can not seem to remove. Is there any other way I can remove the turbo without having to take out the header? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There is a sticky in the CA18ET section regarding that nut but in summaries people had used a stubby, half moon or crescent wrench while others have made their own stubby by cutting off a normal wrench. My own solution was to rubber band the closed end of a long wrench to the open end of the proper wrench like a "L" shape to best describe it:
O
l
l
l
n O------------C If you can imagine n being the open end and O being the closed end you can push or pull on the long wrench and use it as a linkage to loosen that nut.
