Clocking an IHI VF39(STI turbo)

Anybody done this before? Is there some kind of a pin keeping me from pulling the housings off or clocking it? I know the turbine housing is gonna be a bitch to get off, but the compressor housing should spin easily after the bolts are removed right?

i dont have a whole lot of experience with vf39's, but subaru likes to make life as difficult as possible on every part they can.

Thanx man. Apparantely there is some pin in the turbine housing. I know for a fact i'm gonna have to beat the shit out of it to get that off, but why wont my compressor housing come off after taking out the bolts?
