K-26 disassembling question & hoses...

[Ameer Antar]

I see your in the middle of the rebuild....There should only be one nut
holding the shaft to the turbo. Make sure both the compressor side and
exhaust side housing have been removed. Once you loosen the nut, you should
be able to take it apart. If it's stuck....very, very gently use a rubber
mallet to hit the shaft out of the bearing housing from the compressor
side. Be very careful. Also as you take the turbo apart write down how
every little part goes in...sometimes it can be hard to remember exactly
which side goes which direction, etc. Also make sure you have a decent
diagram to compare to and specs for measurements like shaft diameter,
piston ring groove, bearing diam's., etc. Let me know if you're missing a
diagram and this info; I have a copy of one, but it's a big file.

About hoses, pegasus auto racing has a very good selection of race-type
parts, like silicone hoses, even coolant hose, and other goodies. You can
order their catalog from here: http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/

good luck.
