PREPARATION AND REMOVAL

Disconnect the battery.

Loosen the four hose clamps securing the super-

charger discharge tube from the supercharger to

the throttle body. Disconnect the by-pass valve

hoses where they connect to the inlet and dis-

by-pass valve aside to be reinstalled in a later

step. Remove the discharge tube and set it aside.

It will not be reused.

Disconnect the oil feed and oil drain lines.

Using a 1/2" ratchet wrench, loosen the accessory

belt tensioner and remove the belt from the super-

the supercharger temporarily.

Remove the five 9/16" headed screws securing

the supercharger to its mounting plate.

NOTE: Temporarily cap the oil lines to protect your

engine from foreign particles.
