Turbocharger: Service Precautions

Turbocharger Handling Procedures.
- Holding the actuator, the rod, or the actuator hose when removing and carrying the turbocharger can cause damage.
- Set the turbine down with the shaft horizontal.
- Replace damaged studs and nuts. Use only the specified studs and nuts. Using damaged or unspecified studs and nuts can cause gas leakage because of insufficient clamping.
- Cover the turbocharger air port and exhaust port with tape to keep out foreign material. Foreign material may damage the turbocharger's internal components.
