[s-cars] unbolting DP from turbo

[Tom Mullane]

Rich,

I have a special wrench that works when that nut is really stuck.  It's a
box end 15 mm wrench cut down so that it only has a 1 inch handle -
basically, it's just the round "box" end with a little stub.  I take the box
end and put it on the nut so that the stub points directly toward the
driver's side of the car (nine o'clock if you are at the rear of the car
looking forward).  I take a long straight bar (18 inches is good, but 12
will do) and slide it between the DP and the exhaust manifold so that it
rests on the stub.  Take a hammer and drive it downward to turn the wrench.
Reposition the wrench and repeat until you can remove it with the regular
wrench.

Tom
