Thread: How to remove the supercharger ?

Hey guys im taking off the supercharger to get ready to sell, could you guys tell me how to get it off. Soo far i got a bunch of bolts off around it but i cant seem to get it off completly. soo i need some help.

Are you sure you got all of the bolts out? Long one that goes through the snout? I didn't have any problems removing mine, but apparently there is at least one bolt that many people miss.

Oh i didnt take the bolt off that goes through the snout, Do you have to take off the pulley or anything like that.

I thought we had a write up on how to do all that, but it appears that we do not. That said, any how to on installing a cam, replacing the LIM gaskets and so forth will have all the info you need.

But, Indeed is correct there is one bolt that everyone seems to miss but I cannot remember which it is, but I would suspect as well the one in the snout.

how do you get at the bolt in snout, its too dark out now to work anymore and im itching to get it off, soo ill be up soon as it turns light out to take it off.

You should be able to get it off without any trouble. I know this because I had to pull my snout off to replace the coupler a couple of years ago, so I know you can separate the snout from the rest of the blower. Looking at the blower from the passenger side on the left side of the snout is a bolt that holds that down and its the only one there.

ok ill try tht tomorrow, and you guys will be seeing me putting up an add for the supercharger soon after, i just dont know how much yet, it runs perfect.

I didn't go look, but you don't have to take anything else off. Just look for a bolt or two going through the snout base into the LIM vertically like the rest you removed. As mentioned above look for the one next to the EGR as well.

well that must be the last bolt cause i tryed prying it but it wont budge soo ill check for that last bolt tomorrow morning.

perhaps a picture of the s/c gasket will help

oh that defently helps thank you

just count the number of bolts you pulled off..

yea i was thinking about tht im gonna count them tomorrow, now is all the bolts that hold how the s/c the same lenght and what not.

ok then

btw if you are sure you have all of the bolts out, and it still won't budge, try spraying some brake cleaner around the gasket area and let it soak in for a while. I think I may have used WD-40, but you get the idea. Tapping a plastic putty knife or scraper under the supercharger housing may help get you started. Of course you are probably finished by now.

haha not yet, i have been super busy, Ill try the wd40 in a little bit, i think theirs one more bolt idk yet.
