supercharger question
well last weekend I cleaned my supercharger and now should I replace the needle bearings just to be safe cause I really don't want to tear it all apart if they go bad? I have it torn apart right now how do I take them out?

Re: supercharger question
If they still turn smooth by hand, I'd get the needle bearing grease and lube the needle bearings up.
The rotors look fine, you just don't want bare bright aluminum showing. Soot/carbon will build back up and close up the clearance left by removing the old stuff.
Did you soak the whole rotor pack in anything? I'm just thinking about the bearings on the other end of the rotors.

Re: supercharger question
I didn't soak it I just sprayed throttle body cleaner and cleaned mostly the behind the throttle body I did spray where the rotors are but didn't wipe anything on the rotors. What kind of grease can I use?

Re: supercharger question
Intense, ZZP, and others have specific grease for the needle bearings.
