are there step by step procedure on how to remove the supercharger on a 05 MCS??

 

Not to be a complete smart-***, but: http://www.waymotorworks.com/bentley...ir-manual.html

It has everything you need to know, and then some. If you dont have one already, you really really do need to have it in your collection of tools.

 

not free though

 

have you tried searching and come up empty handed, or are you posting hoping someone will find it for you? i'm confident it's on here somewhere if you search.

 

Neither is your car payment, but you seem to be making that.

 

Pretty much what he said. the entire front bumper has to come off. Undo the Rad hoses swing the ac condenser out of the way unbolt the core support. next would be remove the belt. unbolt the alternator. remove hoses from water pump unbolt the super charger.


you will need a new o ring for the water pump and use some dow 33 on the new o ring when reinstalling. It does take a good amount of time.

 

I wonder if people who require step-by-step instructions to do things like this should even be attempting them?

It's not just a matter of knowing what to do first, it's also a matter of tools and technique, experience gained over a lot of years turning wrenches and learning the right ways to do things.

It seems like people have become so used to "plug and play" that they think any repair job on their car is just a matter of unbolting a few things and rebolting them. In the simplest terms, this is true, but there's so much more to it than that as well.....

This is not meant as a put-down of the OP, rather more of a wake up call to those who might think they can do major repairs on their cars as long as they have a step-by-step and still have a safe, and correct perfoming car when they're done. It doesn't always turn out well.....

If you have the skills and the tools and the training and just want to see if there are any short-cuts, that's one thing. If it's your first attempt at something like this, I'd say gain some experience first, or have someone who does knows what they're doing helping or at least looking over your shoulder.

The answer to the OP's question is "yes" somewhere on here there is a step-by-step on how to replace the supercharger, your first task is to find it.

Good luck Jim, and should you or any member of your IM force be captured, the secretary will disavow all knowledge!

 

Sometimes the best instruction when fixing a car is remove any part you need to to gain access to the part you need to remove!!
On a serious note, the list of stuff that is USUALLY removed above is a good gut check to see if the job is within you skill-set. And as previously stated...even a step by step manual can get you into trouble...bolts get stuck, seize up....sometimes things do not work the same way as the book or look different...the book is just a basic guide...common sense and experience is a must...especially when digging deeply into a car.

I would call WaymotorWorks, and get a full set of gaskets/o-rings for the SC+water pimp, and the intakes before going too much further....some things may be reusable, but if they leak, the $5 seems cheap. Doing a job a second time is a bad way to learn not to be cheap...cause sometimes doing things the cheap way costs way more!!

Do it once, Do it right. Good Luck!

 

wow ok i did a search could not find anything....if man put it together i can take it apart...just wondering if there where short cuts or tips thats all...
