After doing some research I've realized this supercharger seems to have a problem with the rear bearings. As a result they will need to be replaced, or it will need to be rebuilt. Possible options seem to be to try to fix it yourself, use as parts, or use as a core for a rebuild. As a result the price has been reduced to reflect this finding (basically $100 cheaper than usual core charge).

Asking $500 shipped.

 

Rob at Needswings can source new rear bearings for these.

 

Take the number of the bearing and go to an industrial supplier that sells bearings. The number tells you all you need to know about the bearing, size, grade etc.
A bearing is very rarely made for one purpose and as such they are freely available, the same goes for all bearings in our cars.
That method is much cheaper than buying one from a dealer or an auto supply house.

 

Thanks for the responses! Then the question is, how do I disassemble the supercharger to get at the rear bearings? I'd done some searching around that but hadn't seen any conclusive results...

Awesome! just bought it, thanks!

 

Wrong engine is'nt it?
There is a set of pics showing the SC dismantled somewhere here, I 'll look around for them.

 

Yeah the one that was linked to was the wrong engine, but I searched through and found the one for the SRT-6 Crossfire and bought that along with replacement gear oil... if theres a cheaper way to go I'd be happy look at that as well, as these bearings are like $150 from that site, which I know isn't even close to actual cost.

 

Good one proboner ,let us know how it works out !

for reference, Here is the right link for our 6 sc bearings- AU$ 150
