For some reason the turbo charger I had bought has the compressor side pointing at the wrong angle.
I decided to pull it apart and turn it, but that would mean the bracket for the waste gate actuator would no longer line up with the mounting holes. So, while it was apart, I'd re drill and tap some holes for it.
After good advice, I soaked the exhaust side with WD40 and left it a few hours. I went back to it and used a hot air gun to heat the casing. Once that was hot, the casing came off with a few taps of a hammer.
Next was the compressor side. I was advised to get a large heavy duty pair of circlip pliers. But after a little hunt through my tool box to see what I could use, I got the clip out really easily. First attempt with no screwdrivers or circlip pliers in sight!

Now I've got to the part which is a bit of a bummer.... the bearings in the core are shot, so decided to pull it to pieces.
I got the nut off the compressor end, but the actual compressor fins were giving up a fight.
After a bit of swearing I'm left with this...

Now need to decide what I'm going to do with it......
