Supercharger Partial Overhaul Question
Posted: November 21st, 2017, 11:35 am
I have a Volumex unit - currently on a spare engine - which I would like to partially overhaul. “ Partial” as in replace the rear bearings and seals, clean the casing and rotors - as per GC instructions on this site, but leaving the rotors in place.
I have a high torque nut gun for removing the pulley nut - but my question is, without the correct Fiat tool, can anyone advise me on how to lock the pulley/rotors satisfactorily, in order to re-torque the pulley nut?
I have considered various options (tight fitting wood block in between the rotors and/or “universal” cam wheel locker by Sealey, or utilising an old cambelt wrapped around the pulley and clamped in a vice).
I would not be confident enough using any of these methods without prior confirmation that these are viable options......
I would be grateful if anyone who has done this job without the Fiat tool, could advise me on the method they used
Thanks
