Is it easier to do the SC pulley with the blower out of the jeep or left in? It’s already out is why I’m asking before I put it back in

 

[TNCHARGER]

When I changed the pulley on my Charger I left the SC on the engine. Seemed like just more work to take completely off.

 

[Lil Hemi]

I’m just curious if it’s any easier out of the vehicle since I already pulled the SC

 

[Lil Hemi]

Ok, I decided to just do it while it’s out. I’ve got it to this point and have removed the 6 bolts on the snout. How do I get the snout off?

Just needed some love taps

Getting to the bottom snout bolt with supercharger on is tough.

Yeah it looked like it was harder installed and since I already had it out. I still can’t get the **** pulley to come off though

VERY difficult to loosen the pulley. I ordered the 15/16" hex tool and pin holding tool from GripTec along with the pulley which should arrive next week. Metco is another place that offers the tools. Maybe two people to hold it down while you torque?

 

[Lil Hemi]

Yup, got both of the Metco tools n still no luck. Tried another impact n still stuck. I put remove-able locktite on the rear bolt n letting it setup. If it doesn’t come loose mañana I’m taking the snout to a shop n see if they can get it.

 

[Lil Hemi]

I have both metco tools n zero success. Multiple impacts aren’t getting the job done. The metco pieces are doing their jobs but I’m still having issues.

 

[ThawkMike]

Yep, it’s tough. I had my buddy do my on the Hellcat at his shop and we struggled for a day.
Impact gun finally got it.

You have to use a really really good impact....like at least 150 ft-lb type, pressurize your air system to the max then hit it hard and fast....it will zip right off.

 

[kodiakz]

you need either super duty 1" impact or big/long breaker bar and possibly 2 guys.

 

[ThawkMike]

Definitely need 2 guys, or long big arms ... lol

Tried the two guy method but the bolt on the rear keeps loosening. Imma run it to a shop with a proper impact

 

[ROCKETW19]

need me to come by and do it? I can turn it with just my fingers no problem. Ha how did it go? all good?

 

[Lil Hemi]

Still a work in progress.

 

[Lil Hemi]

30 seconds at the tire shop n it came off. My advice would be go directly to a shop if ur impact won’t get the job done and don’t waste hours “trying”

 

[Stalls]

Can Anyone tell me why you absolutely have to remove the snout to remove the pulley? I would love to see a diagram of the snout parts. But to me it seems you could take it off without removing the snout. As far as I see it two things would have to be present in order for this to happen. Somehow keep the stock pulley from moving and enough initial impact pressure to knock it lose. Or is the one way clutch going to stop me? But then again I could be completely wrong and I haven't torn into mine yet until this weekend 😁

 

[Lil Hemi]

I think the proper term is decoupled but yeah, you gotta pull the snout and install this metco tool to hold it still so you can get the bolt out. Depending on what pulley you install, you may not need to pull the snout to change it next time but you have to in order to get the stock one off.

You don’t have to completely pull the blower though, you can just tilt it up at the front to get the snout off. Be careful of those flimsy gaskets between the blower n engine though.
