I used brake cleaner. Auto Zone had the CRC brand with two different cans. One is red and the other is green. The green one worked way better than the red.
carb cleaner!
brake cleaner eats the coating off of the SC rotors - just ask 2002BlackNBlue....
I am SO glad I asked!Originally Posted by Venom
Venom... I think you should come out and help.
Yes officer... I am aware of how fast I was going!
When I did mine, I did not spray anything into the SC. I cleaned the IC and plenum (detached from the SC) and washed with detergent and water to remove residue. Next blowed dry with compressed air. This left both pieces clean with no residue and the supercharger unaffected.

depending on how bad, sometimes the blower rotors and inside casing are also soaked with oil
good time to check for the coating on the rotors to be flaking and if it is, then stripping them may be in order (or if you're super pimp, a set of cobra graphite rotors!)
Ok so i got the Belltech Spindles in today and i think im gonna need some help...anyone familiar with installing these???
Well, i tried to install the drivers side right now with no luck... those damn caliper bolts are a pain to get off.
Plenty of GMs but never a Ford. You may need a 1/2 inch breaker bar with a good long cheater bar (read piece of pipe) to bust them loose or an impact. Their pretty easy on GMs.
I dont know how much help Ill be but Im gonna try to make it sunday, have to leave by 12 tho, I said Id be at the Lewisville Hooters car show at 1, they say its a big one.
I'd like to go to the car show from there too hopefully i'll be done in time.
Venom... how do you go about stripping them?
if your rotors are in good shape Blake dont strip em..
I wouldn't strip them unless they're chipped pretty badly
Or unless you accidently use brake cleaner on them and start the job for yourself.
I dont think there chipped badly, let me take a look and i'll edit this.
2 minutes later...
I'd say they are pretty bad.... Pics coming.
