Eaton M45 Supercharger Worn Shaft repair
Has anyone ever had to repair the end shaft on the charger where the pulley goes on? I previously had a V1 alta pulley on and the pulley damaged the shaft. It's worn pretty bad. I mounted a new V2 Alta pulley and all seemed well for a few days now it sounds like it's just spinning on the shaft. I don't get any boost. In fact I can't even hear the supercharger, just the noise of a spinning pulley. What can I do to fix the shaft ?

Since removing and replacing a SC is about 5+hrs labor, and 100$ or so in gaskets, WHY fix a part that might be 90% worn out....remember, a SC is a wear item, it gets less efficient as it wears...
Then add in an week or more of downtime if you wait for your sc to be fixed, and two way express shipping....think it makes more sense to just do an rebuilt sc as an exchange, and start off fresh....remember, sometimes the most expensive way to fix something is by going cheap!! That's cause you pay to do it two times!!

You might be able to find a local bearing hose that carries those thin sleeves that are made to slide over worn shafts and repair them. I think you put epoxy on the shaft and slide it on.
Also..you could drill right thought the pulley and shaft and put a pin in it, that would probably hold really well also.
All of these are probably still just going to be temporary fixes....but it's worth a try.
Have you searched around on ebay, auto salvage yards, or other places to find a used supercharger?

I've just bought and fitted the V2 Alta pulley which they claim will work on tapered shafts.. Guess mines is tapered beyond its tolerance
