Rotate center section of a Holset HY35?

[TurbododgePirate]

Looking at my HY35 holset, I realise that I need to rotate the center section so the oil drains down..

It has what looks like a giant snap ring on the compressor side, and a v band clamp on the exhaust side. Anyone know any drawbacks? ~~Heath

I just took my HX apart and you have to undo the snap ring and grind off a locating tab on the housing to be able to spin it. The HX hot side is bolted on so I don't know about the band clamp.

on my HY35 you just have to undo the band clamp, then get out a pair of side cutters and snip the locating pins, then you can rotate it as much as you would like
