when re-clocking a turbo.......

[sharkbait]

how do you put that ring on the cold side back on? i was able to get it off, but im having problems getting it compressed to slip it in the groove. any ideas?

there is two holes. one on each side of the end of it. im guessing there is a special pliers/tool to compress it?

ill post a pic asap.

one of the Good Grips soft jaw clamps? I think the jaws may just be long enough to be able to compress the ring.

If it's a stock turbo you need a good set of snap ring pliers

and you need to break the anti reclock pin

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the external band clamp... you're talking internal snap ring. Those big ones are usually pretty easy - just start one end in the groove, then work around the inner perimeter as you hold the snap ring pulled towards the center with anything with a hard, sharp point on it.

i did it the getto way. after a few mins of thinking.........i put two small screw drivers in each hole, and pulled them together with a large pair of vise grips. getto, but it worked.

thanks guys.

oh, and yes, i did file down the nipple on the exhaust side. and had to notch a little bit for a little groove too.
