    First, you can cut it. you'll need to cut it in several locations, cutting as much as you can without nicking the SC case or the SC shaft (actually, you can nick it a little). It will not cut completely off, you'll still have to use the puller but the cuts will fatigue the pulley so it'll come off.

    I would highly recommend against using a torch on the pulley, you're at risk of cooking the seal on the needle bearings in the nose and will end up needing a rebuilt supercharger in 4,000 miles.

    Thanks i was hoping I could do like you said, so I would not have to cut it off completely.

    No torch for me. My mom said if I play with fire i would pee in the bed.:biggrin5:

    I thought I would work on it all day today but the wife's car had some problems that I had to take care of.
