Supercharger bearing replacement issue.
Hi guys ive had my c32 amg for around a year now and I ordered a 178mm asp pulley kit with a pulley saver kit and a new supercharger bearing from needswings in the states.
Ive got everything off the car with the new stuff ready to go on however upon removing the supercharger pulley and bearing im having a problem. The clutch assembly has three removable washer spacers fitted which is fine and the supercharger pulley has a c clip at the front of the bearing, however a larger washer roughly the same size as the c clip also came out and I have no idea where it goes, im guessing in front of the bearing before the c clip goes on?
Thanks in advance

Yes, before the bearing as stated. Also helps to ensure you know the pulley is 100% in-place. If not the washer will click when you shake the pulley.

Sorry to bring back old thread
Hi all
I have posted a thread regarding an issue i am having with my supercharger pulley/clutch and think the machine shop that swapped over my bearing may have forgotten to put the washer in which has reulted in the sc pulley now having a small amount of play/movement in it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, i am not talking about the thick guide washer with the 2 small pins on the front of the pulley, i am referring to an a washer which should be in inserted into the pulley before the braring is pressed in.
