I rebuild my GM8 turbo today.
I figured i may as well take some pics of how i done it and share it with you
Here we go.
Pic # 1 shows heat shield and snail house/exhoust elbow bolts removed.
#2 , shows the exhaust wheel ( note the 12 point nut on the end) where it fits in the elbow.
#3 the snailshell and the intake impeller side
#4 hold the 12 point nut (13 mm)on the exhaust wheel and turn the nut on the impeller wheel off(Left handed tread) and pull the impeller off,if it is stuck,use a plasic mallet or screw driver handle and tap the shaft out trough the rear.Be carefull not to damage the wheel or impeller or bend the shaft as balance is very important here.
More later
