Howdy!
So during my supercharger install, while trying to put the belt on, the nut that is used to loosen tension literally ripped off! Crazy!
So now I have ordered a replacement part from MWR. I've read quite a bit on the forums about replacing this tensioner. I am aware that the bolt holding the tensioner in is too long and you have to jack the engine up so you can get that bolt out. I was hoping to get some tips on how best to jack the engine up. I've read that some people have been able to just remove the passenger side engine mount. That would obviously be ideal. Also, is there a preferreed location on the engine to jack it up about an inch? The oil pan makes me very nervous.
Any tips or tricks would be super handy!
Thanks!
Matt
