i will have to agree. i've not rebuilt a supercharger yet, but i have seen several people with zero prior knowledge rebuild their blowers successfully, and one guy even did a detailed how-to of his first rebuild which he posted here.

i'm sure any competent person can perform the rebuild so long as they have good instructions and the proper tools.

I didn't read the entire thread so I do not know if this has been asked. What type of filter are you running on your car? I have seen pieces like that come the the innerside of the filter

Hmm, I found a 1/4 ratchet with a 5" extension and a 7/16" socket once. That made me happy.
