Watch turbo bolt

[pmk]

Craftsman deep offset box end wrench will get the inside bolt. Thanks to Catmanjim for that.

Did I see somewhere on the forum. The bolts were not coming loose, getting them out & putting anti-seize on them?

think it was different bolts, exhaust maybe?

These 6 bolts for the muffler. Put anti-seize on those bolts

Six from Turbo to muffler? looked like a mess. Thought I would fix that as well. Can you confirm?

Thanks silverram!

Lol, i did the same. I couldn't cut my craftsman one.

Im going to buy a cheap 5/16 and weld the t50 to it so i dont loose it when it falls into the sled.

Well, local hardware has a spot for T50.....@/#(_+&+")!!!!

Looks like you could get a nut on the back side of a few of those downtube bolts? Anyone try this?

I don't think there's enough thread. Going to whittle away at a specialty tool tomorrow. Remove bolts & reinstall using anti-seize, then call it a wrap.

My turbo bolts were very snug. I'll watch those closely. Until I can find time to lock those down.

Thanks to all!

Wonder if a longer bolt would work, then put a nut and nordlock on the back side.

Ars the bolts loose on some or all sleds?

VWe have now been checking all the turbo bolts on all the sidewinders and have found about 50% of them not torqued to spec. You also want to check the 6 manifold mounting bolts. These have not been very tight as well.
