Turbocharger Overhaul: Disassembly
- Loosen coupling and separate turbine housing from cartridge assembly and compressor cover. See Figure.
- Place compressor cover on solid surface, with turbine facing up. Cover snap ring with finger (prevent spring force from ejecting it) and remove.
- Hold turbine stationary with one hand and tap compressor cover with a plastic mallet to separate components. Some resistance will be felt due to "O" ring inside cartridge assembly.
