Congrats on getting it out! When I did mine I had the most trouble getting the lower driver's side nut off the collector. Took me hours with much cursing and mountain dew. I even had to weld up a special wrench and put a cheater pipe on it to get enough leverage to break it loose. Once I broke it loose though, she came right off. That was after I let it soak in PB blaster for 4 days.

It's not rounded off, it's just not a nut, the 18mm won't fit. I'll have to go buya 20mm but would rather not... It has some sort of a channel on the exhaust side of the shaft. I can post a pic if I can figureout how...

Adam, I'm having trouble finding a 7.3 turbo... I have the pedestal on the way (should be here Friday) does this look like a decent deal for a center cartridge? Turbo CartridgeGTP38 for 98-99 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel F250 F350 1825878C92
The only turbo I could find locally they were asking $500...

from the look of it the only thing I would have to do is install my WW2 and the exhaust housings... I found the mounting bolts on dieselorings.com for $24.95, a little high for blots... does anybody have any other sources/ideas?

Where can I get the bolts at? is dieseloring.com going to be the best option? spturboost.com doesn't sell just the mounting bolts.

Started a new thread on this issue. Late model 7.3 center cartridge does not fit 95 impeller housing, and the late model 7.3 impeller housing doesn't fit in the truck due to clearance issues.
