You might be better off trying to remove it from the turbo and have your way with it once you can put it in a vise.

I did, that's when I saw it torquing like it would twist off. Maybe I could drill them out?

bro i know i already twisted the shaft, it aint gonna budge, ford did this to limit the tinkering we are so well known for. i checked! hahaha. It has about 1/8" of free movement and will travel in that range freely, but the indents hold it really tight because they are on both sides. ill drill tomorrow but like i asked, would i just sit unboosted if i break it?
