Turbo nuts

1) Soak your nuts thoroughly !
2) Check the earths

And don"t forget the magic words " izzy wizzy lets get busy "

" izzy wizzy I think it's the dizzy "

Whatever you un-do (nuts/bolts wise), make sure you put some copper-slip on when re-assembling.
You'll be so pleased that you did next time...

..you mean the next four times...

Actually, nothing works on turbo bolts. Copper slip burns right off...

This applies to wheels too.

NEVER put copper slip on your wheels
Wheel nuts OK but............................

I like the skid pan effect it gives!

Doh

As DG says, Not on your wheels or tyres, but put it on your nuts....

After approx 2 years of planning, asking stupid questions of you guys and general inaction - I finally dropped (well lowered gently) the engine out this weekend. What a hoot and no casualties (human or mechanical) so far. Have go the neighbours well confused as to why my car is sat in the driveway with its asp stuck up in the air - decided to keep the guts out whilst I give the subframe a general de-rusting and paint job.

Thanks to all who provided advice and encouragement.

de-rusting

I can recommend this stuff : http://www.fertan.co.uk/

Thanks - looks interesting. Been using Jenolite which purports to do the same job - this stuff does look better though.
