Default Splitting MHI turbo's

OK, have an MHI turbo, removed the band clamp holding the turbine housing to teh bearing section, any recomendatiosn on how to split the two, tried knocking the turbine section off, tried a screwdriver in the join, next step is putting it in a vice and trying to turno one on other, unless someone has a better idea (planning a little clean up inside the channels prior to fitment!)

I soaked mine with plusgas and wd40 for a short while before a sharp bash with a hammer on the exhaust section. It then came free by twisting it from side to side.

Thanks Bruce, soaked it in WD40 last night, so will wait and see how it goes, then I have to get the compressor housing off as well!
