    It's rather simple...use a syringe and drain the supercharger oil and then remove the 9 bolts that hold the snout and case together.

    You'll want some anerobic sealer for when you put the snout back on.

    Because there is no gasket, the sealer is used.

    Like said above its pretty simple to do. Make sure you have rags under the snout to catch any excess oil that doesn't come out with the syringe.

    If it's an MPS. buying a 3.8 would be cheaper generally unless you already have the new snout

    Wear gloves do not get the old SC lol on your hands or you will hate yourself for the week and do it outside if its possible. The smells bad you don't want that inside.
