There aint no lock nut as such just a safety pin thing!! Then the arm can be wedged off with a screw driver!!! The trickiest bit was putting the arm back on the catch after winding it in and making it smaller, but there was nothing seized and def no lock nut, have you ever screwed a garret cormac?????

I doubt u got a m8 to do this by the sounds of it, The actuator arm has the same prinsiples of a trackrod end, the end bit that u ajust then a locknut to keep it in position, Yip i done my garret which was a fecker to do, was badly rusted, need sum heat to get it moving!

Bollocks cormac mate, i done it, sure the turbo is feckin roastin as i had to waitfor it to cool before i could touch it and there was very little rust, thats not a lock nut either just a bolt that holds the actuator arm and a clip to hold it on, which poped off!!! Cormac lad you sure you done this yourself cos you were badly wrong about the compensator fuelling too, if i would have listened to you i would have been cutting the fuel off, not turning it up!!!!

So did you remove a lock nut or a spring pin cormac lad???
The Blue Arrow points to the Wastegate arm. Notice that there appears to be two sections of the arm. A rod (rusty looking bar) and then a sleeve over it. The sleeve is actually threaded, and must be screwed onto the bar - this effectively making the arm shorter. In order to screw this sleeve further onto the bar, the arm must be released from the other section (the flat plate). This is done by removing the spring clip, as pointed to by the Red Arrow - try not to lose it, you'll need it later! The Wastegate arm can then slide off, and the flat plate can be moved out of the way:
