[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16885141, member: 124025"] It's not that hard. You will need to remove the bolts around the snount and pull it apart. Breaking the seal between the plate on the snout the supercharger can be done with a big screwdriver and some small divits between them for that purpose. They use an anaerobic gasket compound to assemble it and it doesn't harden, but it also seals the surface and may take a little force to separate them. I was able to take mine apart without losing the seal for the front part of snout and the center plate without a need to add oil at reassembly. The rotor pack just lifts out. There's little chance any metal pieces got past the intercooler. The most likely place to get metal into the supercharger would be the bypass. To clean the intercooler, you can get a 5 gal bucket and make a grease dissolving solution in the bucket , but mark the level of fluid in the bucket with the intercooler in it, so as to keep that solution out of the inside of the supercharger. Let it soak and use a high pressure spray rig or car wash to see how much of the caked on grime lets loose. Repeat as you need. There will be oil in the bottom of the intake, but it should be baked on. You are likely to find metal there. [/QUOTE]
