Okay guys I have searched high and low this morning (since about 7:30) trying to find a diagram a how to or something to explain on how to fully disassemble the evolution x turbo. I looked here 9gl clubralliart and on Google and had no luck. So I am posting a new thread to hopefully find someone who has done or knows how to take the turbo apart the help would be greatly appreciated. If there is a thread and I missed it I apologize. I am mainly doing this as preventive maintenance with it (it only has 10,000 miles on it) but I just want to clean it and make sure there is no shaft play or anything else that's wrong that cant be seen when the turbo is assembled.

 

here is a picture of where im stuck at.

 

should be able to remove the nut holding the compressor on the shaft at this point to remove the compressor. check the threads closely to make sure it's not left handed before attempting to losen it.

 

Thats another problem is holding the exhaust wheel while trying to loosen the nut on the compressor wheel cause its like a star socket

 

I apologize your right the way I was looking at the bolt on the back of the exhaust wheel it looked like a hex socket but it was a 13 socket I got it off thank you.

 

Okay I got the compressor wheel off and the snap ring under it off as well. where do I go from here?

 

shaft should pull out through the turbine side (with the turbine still attached) at this point. watch for spillage and possible bearings falling out though. I'm not sure how tight they fit into the cartridge.

 

very tight its being a pita i sprayed a couple of places with wd40 and letting it soak for a minute. Thank you for the help by the way!

 

no problem

This may help out a bit too. rebuilding an older TD05:

 

Thanks man i got it all cleaned up and put back together and when i went to mike the things i realized all the numbers were worn off the shaft of it so no luck there but i will say for only 10,000 miles it was extremely nasty but it clean as its gonna get now turbines spin so much more freely too.

 

nice good to hear!
