it's a lot easier with an impact gun, very hard to hold that pulley and break it loose, I tried for quite a bit and I am well tooled.
Easiest way is to unbolt the (2) motor mount bolts from underneath (takes minutes...) place a block of wood under engine and slightly jack it up until u can get a nice long extension & socket to just pass across the radiator and make contact w/ the sc pulley bolt...quick blast of a quality impact and your home free.

I would not use an impact on a supercharger input shaft.

There is a lot of very expensive stuff in there that can be damaged.

Versus the sideward stress of using a breaker bar? I totally disagree.

I have no idea on what is inside the AMG supercharger, but I have seen LOTS of other brand superchargers damaged by impact guns over the years.

What is the correct procedure from the FSM?
