BOLT

Using a 1/2" ratchet, release the tension from the

accessory drive belt and remove it from the car.

This drive belt will be replaced with a longer one

later in the installation.

Locate and remove the stud bolt that secures the

alternator in place as well as the bolt located to

the right of the alternator. (See Fig. 1-o.) Using a

15mm socket or wrench, remove the nut that

secures the capacitor, resistor and coolant hose

support bracket to the stud bolt. Using an 18mm

socket or wrench, remove the stud bolt, it will be

modified and replaced in a later step.

2010 Models, no coolant hose support brack-

et is used.

There is a small tab that secures the wiring har-

ness in place on the valve cover that will need to

be removed to gain clearance for the supercharg-

er belt. This tab is best removed with a small air

saw but a grinder will work. After removal, smooth

the area to prevent damage to the belt. (See

Figs. 1-r, 1-r1.)

As seen in Fig. 1-o, the upper bolt is removed

from the timing chain cover. This bolt will have to

be modified by cutting off the threaded end where

the resistor attaches. Modify and reinstall the bolt.

(See Fig. 1-s.)

Disconnect the plug to the cam position sensor.

Remove the wiring harness from the retaining

clips that hold it to the valve cover. Move the har-

ness out of the way. This harness will have to be

relocated to gain clearance for the supercharger.
