Snapped Studs / K03

[jNx]

Fitting my Blueflame Downpipe yesterday and guess who didn't use enough WD40?

Snapped stud and nut off the turbo, does anybody accidently have ETKA on there machine and know the part numbers for the studs and nuts? It's a standard K03 turbo.. Engine code is AQX

Cheers!

No probs.
Any luck fixing it yet?

Not just yet.. Picked up the new studs and bolts from SMC Windsor tonight ready for some warfare under the car over the weekend / christmas period!

Apart from tonnes of WD40, any pointers on which is the best angle to attack it from?

Cheers fella

I think ive seen a fitting guide on here somewhere in the main menu section. Its a fitting guide to fitting k03s but might give ya alittle helpon the removal of the old bolts on the downpipe extra.

i helped do the guide, there is no easy way, i did fint tht a small open enddd spaner is best or cut one down, you just have to have patience 1/8th of a turn at a time, as for getting the old stud out your prob best taking the turbo off and doing it.
