Ooops

Postby bear2230 » Wed Jan 17, 2018 5:21 pm

Accidentally
7131B891-225C-4819-96B8-1553DEBF2F92.jpeg
dropped a piece of gasket down into the turbo.
It’s a massive job to take it off to get it out.
Suggestions??

Can you see it? Long needle nose pliers would get to it. I have some if you need.

LOL - picturing the missus catching you using "the Dyson" to suck something out of the bowels of your car.

Should work though, or turn your "blower" into a "sucker".

Sucked the little fuc&er out wit the Miele cat and dog.
Sucks like a sonofabitch.
5 years of Engineering thought me how to make this very suffocated attachment.
Imagine if that went through the Turbo and engine.

Thanks lads. :beer: :beer:
