K-26 cold side backing plate bolts (RIBE) ??? (Konstantine Bogach)

[Ameer Antar]

I remember this now...I couldn't find the right tool when I needed it. But
I found a torx that bit that fit in there almost completely. It was a
little loose, but I put the turbo in a vice and put a lot of downward force
on the bolts as I was turning. I only chipped  tiny bit of the paint off
the screws. It didn't     matter b/c the kit included those bolts and a
bunch of others. All the hardware should be changed, especially the nut on
the compressor wheel. This will throw off the balance, b/c usually they
balance the turbo by grinding off bits from the nut. But this won't be by
much...Oh and make sure to use loctite on the bolts for the back plate when
your done.
