I've been turning wrenches for a LOOONNNNNNNGGGG time. a turbo rebuild is still a pain....i won't do it, even taking them apart is fraught with danger. you can get lucky but if anything is not coming apart don't force it. take it to a rebuilder. they get really bound up from the heat and stress they absorb. i think you need a funky external torx to get the input impeller off?? also look at the inside of the exhaust housing and the wastegate. chances are it is cracked badly...status quo for older turbos. they take extreme amounts of abuse. i started out with the plan to rebuild mine. when i got it apart it was junk.
but have at it. if you ruin it it was ruined to start with :). you may want to look for a used one or if you are planning on keeping the car a quality rebuilt unit can be had from TEC in golden colorado.
