Default Supercharger Coupler

Ok, the supercharger coupler is going in my car, I also believe it is the cause for a squeeling sound everytime I step on the gas. How do I gop about changing the coupler. Can I just remove the nose drive, or do I have to remove the whole supercharger from the kintake manifold.

I've never heard of a bad coupler causing a squeel.

Put 92 SSEi in your signature please.

How do you know the squeal is even anything to do with the SC? Have you tried to run it for a SHORT period of time with one belt, then the other? Are your belts glazing? Do your other pulleys spin freely?

I didnt run the car with one belt. The belts arent slipping at all and the pullys all move freely. I used a stethoscope for automotive use and the the squeeling sounds like its coming from the sc.

on the 92 I believe you have to remove the sc to get the nose drive off

Do you plan on replacing the nosedrive bearings while you're in there? IMO it'* far more likely the bearings are making the noise than the coupler.
