How do I take off the front Nose of the Supercharger ???

What do I need to pull the Front nose of the Supercharger off ?
Special Socket ?
Special Tool ?
Any Tricks ?



Mine has regular bolt heads
Old pic from when I originally installed my upper pulley


Is this as easy as
remove bolts, pull nose off, put new nose on ?

Is 01 and 02 a direct match ?

Anything inside I have to deal with ? (of course the oil I know)

Thanks

I will be switching Eatons soon, and installing an 01 Eaton
on mine, but I want to use my original 02 nose since it already
has my Dial-Ur-Boost Hub installed on it.

Just take all those black bolts out and give it a little pull. If you push on the rotors at the same time you won't lose any oil

Because he is using my Blower to get ported. So he does not have any down time.


BUT DO YOU THINK HE WOULD MENTION THAT HIS BUDDY IS TAKEN CARE OF HIM >>> NOOOOOOOO ,

Gee thanks V,
It WAS a secrete until NOW


I WANTED to square up with my Pal Gator next time
WITHOUT HIM KNOWING

Since you BLEW IT V,

I'd like to take this time to thank my Good Friend Vinnie for
allowing me to use his burnt out, double my mileage,
8lb's going through it for god knows how many years,
flakey, warped Eaton.

In return for this wonderful favor, I will give him, my crisp,
only 12K, Nitrous Cleaned, NEVER OVER SPUN
Eaton.

I even promised to sign it for him, so he can oficially own
THE WORLD FAMOUS Nitrous Ronbo's RECORD BREAKING
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOW Mileage """"02"""" EATON,
which he can easily get 1 MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLION Dollars
for on E-Bay.

And yes I do hold a record
The Worlds Only Lightning to lift the REAR WHEELS off
the ground on Launch


U Da Bestes Cousin V
THANK YOU
NOW SEND THE GOT DAM THING OUT ALREADY
PLEASE...................

And Congrats again on the Awesome Mag Write Up

(and remind me to not tell you any secretes anymore)

I may bust V's Horns
I may break his *****
I may even annoy him at times
But V is Great People, and I'd be nowhere near where I am today,
without his help AND PARTS

You can do that, but since the blower will be apart it's the perfect time to change the oil.

I put an 01 nose on an 03, there is no difference that I could see. I left the rotors in the housing. I pulled the oil out with a pump using tubing from my drip system because it was softer than the tubing that came with the pump. I put rags over the alternator and had a little oil come out. It was clean and looked good at 60,000 miles.
