I am blessed to have a large press that I can use other than that I saw no need for any special tools.
Here is how I disassembled it…
1. Remove the center bolt or dust cover which ever your snout has.
2. Block the pulley up so that the pulley is well supported and no damage will come to the pulley
3. I used a piece of shaft steel smaller diameter than the shaft and centered it on the top end of the spindle
4. Lowered the press ram and pushed the spindle out of the pulley
5. Next remove the spring clip or snap ring from the face of the seal that is now exposed
6. Now place the snout assembly on the support blocks making sure that when you press the spindle out that it will not make contact with any thing.
7. Now use the same smaller diameter piece shaft stock and press the spindle shaft out. Make sure to catch the spindle underneath so as not do damage any thing.

Well it does but is the MP logo on it.Which is a dead giveaway for the unknowing crowd and even some of the more knowing ones.this one has the svt or ford logo on it so unless you know what to look for you will think it is still the stock blower.Stan

Stan those are the Eaton set up.

My MP blower has Magnum Powers on it like this...
I do have a pic. of the spindle assy. for the MP if anyone wants to see. The MP has a much thicker front bearing than the factory eaton bearing.

True but when you shorten the snout up yo get into alot thicker area of the snout.My main reason for doing it was to see if I was able to,now all I need is the blower case to see if it works[which I see no reason why it wouldn't]I think the MP has 3 bearing in it but I can change that in the stock snout to since I help out when a freind of mine gets behind[owns a tool and die shop]And I have a key to it , Stan

Stan, you are right about the more meat thing. The MP only has 2 bearings but like I stated earlier the front bearing is much thicker and it is a double roller set up. The MP front bearing is on the left and the Eaton is on the right. If I can help further e-mail me. I just returned your e-mail thanks.

How hard is it to remove the front blower snout from the 2 rotors? Can it be done with the blower still on the L?
