- Take out all 6 hex bolts from the pulley
- Swap pulleys
- Apply a dab of red locktite to the hex bolts and re-insert them to secure the pulley to the supercharger. Hand tighten loosely.
- Press down on the factory tensioner, and re-install belt. Release tensioner. Verify that the belt is properly routed. *double check belt to make sure it is properly routed
- Torque down the 6 hex bolts to spec.
Note: the belt provides all the support/traction you need to break loose and tighten the bolts attaching the pulley to the supercharger.
On a cold car, I can do this in under 5 minutes total.
