Watch turbo bolt


Wondering IF that back one you lost is the same as the other 2? Maybe pull one and take it to Fastenal see if they can match it? Just a thought

I assume it is but I'd rather put a factory bolt in for a variety of reasons. I have looked through the drawings multiple times. Im sure I'm just missing it.
 
My thoughts is to run the torque bolts from the muffler in place of the hex head bolts in the turo bolts. I tried one in the back bolt and seemed to work and easier to tighten.
 
i couldnt either. dont have 13 mm swivel, just swivel and socket and it was too big. got wrench on though and snugged a bit. was it tight? might have to get the right tool....
remove the turbo that's what we did lol,oh I forgot we had to remove it ha ha..
 
My dealer emailed me the service bulletin from cat. But I'm not sure how to share it on the forms.
 
I did mine on the weekend. The 6 TORX bolts were really tight. I thought the T50 was going to break. Warmed the engine up to operating temp , tried again and the bolts came out much easier. Thought I'd pass along. If you do this make sure your wear gloves! ;)
 
My muffler bolts have never been extremely tight but I have replaced the torx bolts with regular bolts and now just need nord locks for those
Last week I did find the hidden back turbo bolt rolling around under my clutch
 
I have my exhaust out trying to get to that back turbo bolt I was really hoping it was wedged under the canister but it's not
best idea I herd was trying to get a socket onto the bolt end(just the socket). Then using a Allen key into the 1/4"drive hole(or 3/8 or whatever u use). I never tried but you might want to try that if your talking about tightening turbo bolt that's hard to get at

Exactly what I'm going to try to do. Put factory flange bolt back there and Hillman in easiest hole to get to. Factory turbo bolts are hard to come by right now. Putting the T50s back in too. All of this hardware was surprisingly loose at only 43 miles.
