pjo046 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I am in need of a turbinewheel/shaft and a compressor wheel. Was rebuilding my old T3 with a rebuild kit when something went wrong.... So now I have my newly polished compressorhousing, my painted turbinehousing and a center section with new bearings etc. But I am in need of new shaft and wheels. So if anyone has these things lying around, I would be really gratefull if you would be willing to sell it to me cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjo046 Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 Well, I changed the bearings and everything in the center section. Then it was time to reassemble everything. I put on the backing plate and then the turbine wheel and compressor wheel. The compressor wheel was a bit hard to get onto the turbine wheel, so I had to slide it down the shaft by tightening the retainer nut. But after I was done, I realised I had forgotten to bolt down the backing plate to the center section. I therefore had to take the compressor wheel of again.. That's when the problem started. Since I had made the mistake of using force to get the compressor wheel on(by screwing it on), I was unable to get it of again. I tried many different methods, but with no luck. So now it has become completely stuck on the turbine wheel shaft. I managed to get it a bit out, but then it just got stuck. Tried using different tools, but it didn't help. So I am thinking that I just have to use a saw and cut it of, and install a new turbine wheel and compressor wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 There is a special press that'll press the compressor off but you would need to have the seal plate on to use it. Doh. Only way that I know is to turn slowly and pull. But you prolly will damage the shaft by pulling the compressor wheel off that way. I'll see what I can do.
