First, I'll thank Bob (RED DOG) for the hook-up on the part. I was able to source a new bearing and even had it replaced by a buddy at zero cost. Well, that's not true, it cost $17, due to the spring clip pliers which snapped in half while removing the ring; that clip is pretty stout!

Anywho, got to installing the pulley and found the dowels which key the washer in place on the snout were kind of mal-formed, causing the washer not to release. Some effort and sharp-nosed punches later, it finally gave way.

All this aside, there's a bigger problem. I can't seem to get traction anywhere. The car fish-tails wildly and the supercharger now screams as if it's being branded.

It's actually so bad in-fact, it caused my guinea pig passenger (girlfriend) to go as she puts it, "full turtle" by stuffing her head inside her coat.

Anyone else having problems like this???


I've attached a video for your review. I hope I've provided enough info to resolve this issue, as I believe it could develop into a costly habit.
