Supercharger maintenance this weekend!
So sometime this weekend im going to be changing the oil in supercharger, coupler, and bearings. I have boughten the kit and everything i need from zzp. I rented the tool for removing bearings from oreillys, and im gonna grab a torque wrench from a friend. Anyone have tips for me to make this easy? BUT ALSO: anyone know the torque specs on the bolts im taking off like the ten bolts on the snout? I read it before but i forgot...

I actually did exactly this last weekend. I ported the outlet to look like the pictures of someone here's steigemeier port job.
Edit: These are the before and after pics I used for reference thanks to Blur.fx:

About 3oz. came out of the S/C when completely drained. It looked pretty bad. I put 3.4 back in according to eaton's specs.
Take your time if you decide to port and polish, make sure you get all the metal flakes and dust out of their before polishing/reassembly. Also I wouldn't have been able to polish the inlet without a dremel extension, so you might want to look into getting one of those too. Fortunately, BigLots had a 25$ kit that came with 150 pieces including a variable speed dremel and an extension which worked like a champ.
Let me know if you have any questions, but that link ebristol posted above seems to have it all covered.
Also, make sure you blow your engine bay off and clean out the dust/dirt/sand around the intake manifold/fuel rail/supercharger BEFORE taking off the S/C to make sure none of that falls into your intake manifold.

Thanks little goose for the info!
Joemaster i have read where people say you probably should do maintenance because putting those smaller pulleys will make it work harder so you might want too.. Or at least change oil which doesnt seem hard at all
