That turbo

Finally cracked the turbo open! As for the bolts, it seem they
are metric. They just dont fit anymore by hand on a few holes
(all that banging I guess), but a ratchet will do fine. Should I
use a tool to re-form the holes, or even oversize them and use
a springy thing? (sorry about this very technical discussion,
but I'm not sure how the french terms translate).

As for the cartridge itself (the core), in the Turbo city
instructions they suggest using a cloth on the turbine
and remove the nut on the impellor side. This will then
be retorqued later on to 18-20in/lbs + 1 quarter turn.
This sounds a lot more torque than my hand can
sustain on the turbine side, with a cloth as a holder...
Any suggestions? Surely I'm not the first one to
attempt this.

Ciao,
