Very much so! Thanks for the input...

So, for some feedback here - I ended up making up a tool similar to the Laser Tools piece. Basically fitted a 10mm easy-out onto a round bar, with a slide. The seats were still extremely difficult to remove, but managed to get them all out.

Yeah I soaked with carb cleaner also... Having a tool made up now similar to the laser tools washer puller. Let’s hope that does the trick.

Plenty searching trying to find alternatives - hence the thread resurrection... I have soaked with a WD40 alternative overnight and will try again this morning. Issue is that the copper washer has now opened up and I feel that the M8 thread is probably cutting into the head. Will try find...

I climbed under the truck and bridged the various sensors. Both the L4 position sensor and the CDL light engage sensor are seized. Bridging them out engages the actuator motor and locks the diff. will be pulling the TC out to sort the PTO cover gasket and will freshen everything else up while...

Did you gents come across any issues with removing the injector seat? I’m battling to remove mine. Got one of them out with an M8 slide hammer tool but the rest I’m not winning with. it seems that the M8 threads through the washer in and into the head. Mine are well stuck and think the might be...

What did you end up doing here Nathanrobo? I’ve got the same issue here. Wondering if I can knock them out and just use a seat reamer to clean up any damage?

So an update - the turbo shop did some test and an inspection. They say all checks out fine, other than the wastegate cracking at 0.7bar. They say they have adjusted it to crack at 1.0bar now. Let’s see what happens...

Got a bit carried away with the troubleshooting...

Need some advice please gents - I posted a follow up thread below. Not sure if I’m the right location. 1HD-T Turbo Troubleshooting - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

In addition, it takes extremely long to reach 0.8bar. A lot longer than I’d expect. See video below. New video by Sean Richards - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] i can’t really see any big exhaust manifold leaks. Also did a boost leak test and it holds quite well - so nothing major on the cold side...

Decided to cautiously test with the actuator input port vented to atmosphere. In the theory that the actuator might be damaged and it was actually opening under EMP. In this config, it reached and held a peak of 0.8bar. So either EMP is opening the WG at 0.8bar or there’s something else wrong...
