If you have a torch, heat up the turbo housing, Heat makes metal EXPAND, and spitting on it won't tell you squat as to how hot it is, go to 400 to 500* on the cast iron housing, if any doubts about how hot it is, use a temp stick, they're cheap and can be ordered from McMaster-Carr. On pumps with bolts that won't move, we heat the head until cherry red, give it a minute to stop glowing, they back out 99.9% of the time. Getting it hot before you do anything with it is something we all should know about.....
