- 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.

Couple of notes:
• Remove the throttle body tube to get to the pulley easier.
• I'd recommend tightening down the pulley before releasing belt tension onto the pulley. You want to make sure the pulley is properly seated onto the Rotrex unit. Then after the belt is on there, do a final torque check. Do not over tighten.
