Tghanks for the advice^^^ Looks like ill be using the press here at work tomarrow.

Ok This thing is really p*ssing me off. Just to be sure. what end should I be tapping? Where the pulley once was correct?

dosent it seem nothing seems to go as easy as planed in the world of car maintenence? LoL

Press down on the pulley end. What kind of press? Rack/Pinion manual, or hydraulic? You'll need a hydraulic press if hammer and wood don't work.

^ I will give it another whirl tomarrow, I havent used the press yet but its a manual press. I just tried the hammer for one last time before I try the press out.

ohh, sorta off topic, are The ceramic bearings worth the extra $ ?

No, they're not. Normal bearings last over 100,000 miles.

If you have a manual press, forget it. You won't get it apart. If the hammer doesn't work, you need a hydraulic press.

I tried it one last time and SUCCES!!! thanks for the info and heads up on the ceramic bearings. Willren. I say it again. This is a great forum and so are its users!!!!


I take it this bearing lost some peices? LoL

I certainly hope none of those pieces made it into the gears. At this point, I'd be looking for a used eBay supercharger.

There were butloads of shavings in the oil. I cant find any chipped teeth tho, thank god

No, maybe not, but your rotor bearings are toast.

Those shavings are circulating in the same oil that lubricates the rotor bearings. Face reality with us here. Your SC is entirely toast. Don't even waste your time trying to rebuild just the nosedrive.
