I'm probably stating the obvious: that supercharger wasn't making boost.

You may end up removing the casting on top of the supercharger in order to hold the blades still (carefully!) while removing the pulley nut.

At any rate, can you get a pneumatic impact wrench in there for when you can hold the blades in place?

Q: if you push the pulley toward the SC, does it grab at all, or is it still free to spin?
