How difficult to swap blower rotors?

I've been trying to decide between having my Eaton Apten ported or swapping to a MP blower. But i'm leery about cracking open the Eaton to swap the rotors. If i messed that up, then i'd have a junk Eaton and a MP with no rotors So exactly what does the rotor swap entail? Any pictures? Thanks guys

It is the easiest thing you will ever do

When done properly, you DO NOT EVEN LOSE ONE DROP OF FLUID

Here's a step by step "How To" on S/C removal with Pictures : o )
http://www.lightningrodder.com/forum...php?topic=69.0

Here's a few Rotor Swaping pic's, nothing to it

Lay on bench, remove a few bolts
pull the entire Nose and Rotor Assy out in one piece,
slide it into the ported Case

If your sliding them into the Magnum, then you seperate it from the Snout and again slide it in, but now use the Magnum Snout.
(here you will have to refill the S/C Oil)

See how it all comes out in one assy, just remove a handful of bolts and Wam it's out


Here you can see the other spot it can be seperated from
RIGHT IN FRONT OF WHERE YOU SEE THAT LITTLE BAR CODE STICKER


Slide it back in, tighten a few bolts, add S/C oil "if needed"
and WAM your done
