Has anyone got any tips of how to do this as its driving me mad.Basically doing a gasket change on the turbo and have managed to connect all the other lines apart from the oil feed into the block i just carnt line it up to catch the thread.So if thers an easy way of doing this someone please tell me and yes they are braided lines which i thought where suppose to help
It can be tricky, but takes a few goes. Try and do it from underneath. Be very careful that the banjo has gone in straight as it is very easy to cross-thread the oil feed on the block. Also make sure you don't overtighten it!
How do you get to it from underneath mate as far as i can see there's no room
If you have go the non siviley type braided hoses like mine, twist the end to get the right angle so it sits flat on the block then put the banjo through.
I dont no what type they are i got them from hose solutions but if i do what you said how do i keep the other washer on the block side inplace
It's hard to explain what I mean, mine are the cheaper Apex ones. See what sort of angle the banjo goes in at, the fit the banjo through the hose with washers on, press lightly against block so washer doesn't fall off, then swivel/twist the hose until you have the right angle, rotate banjo anti-clockwise till you feel it slightly click then tighten clockwise. Done it about a million times now.
To put it in otherwords, just **** about with it
It can be a pain in the arse but just be patient. I lost my rag on a number of times the first time I it which really didn't help

Put the bolt in on its own to get an idea of what sort of alignment the banjo has the be in. Remember that, take the bolt out and try to align the banjo and bolt up properly
Finally done it today
