but the video doesnt show the removal of the bolt. i used a reg metric 5 to break it loose, then had a magnet extension and place it at the top of the bolt while i backed it out with the ball tip hex extension.

Anyone that is fitting a throttle body kit or is removing the supercharger for any reason its worth changing the oil at the same time if its been a while. It's not a difficult job when in situ but its even easier when the superchargers off.

Do you have to worry about over-filling, or is that why the hole is located where it is? Just fill to the top of that hole?
If there's enough left in the can for two changes, I might do a flush with the first change to get all the old gunk out.

i have overfill the sc and now the oil is seaping through the pulley bolt, but does it seap also to the clutch? cause i am seeing a slippage and boost drop and can't go max boost, even i opened the small bolt and took out the excess oil and i am still having a clutch slippage, i need a new pulley/clutch assembly!
