Chaz is right on the wrench. I tried to use my trusty Craftsman wrench and the wrench just spread open and began rounding the obstructed nut. I took the turbo down to Sobstory, and Jim had a Snap-On Flank Drive wrench that loosened the nut easily.
Also, there is a good chance that the turbo casting will have cracks. Look for cracks that have been nicked by the turbo blades. If any shiny spots, you will need a complete rebuilt turbo. I believe that some minor cracks are OK. I had ordered the cartridge from Turbocity, only to have to return it for a complete unit.
