Hi - I am doing an oil change on my M45 supercharger (out of a MINI) and wanted to ask if there is any reason not to remove the snout to inspect the coupler and gears. Does the snout self align (with dowels, etc) when you put it back together? I already have the anaerobic sealant (plus the activator! don't forget the activator!)
Generally you would just spin it if it’s smooth your ok….you can check in and out play and side to side with everything attached should be very minimal if any
New coupler is poly, it is a Lil tighter but it all goes back together relatively easy and aligns only one way. As long as the 3 pins on the coupler are aligned to the opposing 3 prongs it will align fine.
Thank you very much for the rebuilt.
Your Welcome!

Yes it only goes on one way

Mine had a spring in it.
I think some had them some didn’t
No spring?
We didn't have one.....we seen most do
@@DIYKAI Mine has one. Was wondering if there is a difference without it.
@@MrShamanfab207 not sure? maybe mine is missing lol we have not installed it yet
Rgr. Just put it all back together with. It kinda separates the 2 bearings. Will see as well.
@@MrShamanfab207 make's sense I might just call around and try and find one this was a used unit we got send LOL 🍻
