Gregs 500 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Went to install the 2.5 on my stock S/C (2008 GT500) and the pulley would not turn. I followed everything exactly and went smoothly. However, when I turned the install nut to the end (stop) and removed, the pulley would not budge! It almost seems like the inner surface was touching the S/C snout. Could I have pushed the pulley on too far? How can this be? Its press fit. Just my luck! And I have a show this Sunday. Anyone have a solution or clarification of the problem? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0201212 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 The front edge of the pulley should be perfectly flush with the hub on the supercharger. It it is sticking out passed the pulley it is on to far. Try pulling it off a little bit to see if it frees it up. Hard to tel without pics.

Gregs 500 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Thanks, I was wondering that. It was slightly over flush. So while I pulled back off last night, periodically I checked to see if it would turn. No luck until half way. How in the world...unless some object was binding inside (nothing) I will try installing again today and maybe turn my tongue the other direction. The shaft turns with it off (no damage I am aware). I did hear something about later 2008 production stock blowers were Australian made, having larger snout ribs. Not sure how true that is. Anyway, I'll give it another try. THanks Aim High!

0201212 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I have an 08 and had the same pulley on it without problems. Swapped to a TVS and sold the pulley to an 09 owner and installed it without problems. Good luck hope the tounge on the other side works.
