OEM SUPERCHARGER PULLEY REMOVAL, CONT’D

Install the tool assembly onto the supercharger

pulley, with the back side of the OE pulley nested

into the step in the removal plate. (See Figure 1-i)

Rotate the 5/8" screw clockwise so that the M8

set screw will thread into the end of the super-

charger shaft. Snug (do not tighten) the screw into

the supercharger shaft.

Using either a 15/16” socket on a breaker bar or a

boxed wrench, hold the end of the 5/8” screw from

turning while using the other wrench to turn the

flanged nut to pull the pulley off.

Listen for the “POP” to alert you that the pulley

has broken free, it will become easier to turn the

nut at this point and you should see the pulley

coming off. (See Figure 1-j)

NOTE:

Removing the OEM pulley only after the engine

has been allowed to cool overnight will allow the

pulley to effectively “break loose” from the shaft

and produce a “POP” sound when it becomes

free.

NOTE:

Instead of an open end wrench, we recommend

installing a boxed end wrench on the flanged nut

to apply the torque more evenly and ensure the

wrench will not round the nut corners. Slide the

box wrench over the nut.
