installing compressor wheel
im installing the Wicked Wheel and i got everything apart and now im trying to take the old wheel off..and the wheel is really tight...and the screwdriver doesnt seem to wanna hold on the exhaust side..Are the threads CW or CCW?
Is there an easier way then using a screwdriver?
thanks

There is an article right here on this website on installing a Wicked Wheel including pictures. Perhaps this will be helpful:

Step 24 from Stu Haas' link above:
Grab and hold the end of the Vise-Grip and loosen the compressor wheel by turning the ratchet counter clockwise as if removing any normal bolt.
The compressor wheel will loosen and unthread from the shaft.

same as before, still have to spin it. John suggests using a padded (duct tape) screwdriver to bind the exaust wheel so that you can spin off the compressor wheel.
Good Luck!

Mine would not budge using one, so I used two screwdrivers with duck tape on the ends. Place one screwdriver in and put the other on the opposite side of the wheel, you will have better leverage using two different blades. The wheel will come off counterclockwise.
