replacing m62 housing (how hard?)

I got a ported housing for my supercharger from intense. I got to thinking though how hard is it to swap the housing? Do I just unbolt the snout and pull out the rotors and reverse or are there complex parts that require experience/special tools I might not have? Trying to figure this out before I decide to have them ship it out or keep it there ans have them do the swap. I'm assuming it won't be hard, but I want to check on here first.

its not that hard man. you just have to be careful to not let the rotors bang on the sides of the housing when you take them out, cause then you'll break the seals, and have a bit of a mess on your hands

yup, just pull it out and try not to break the seal to the gearbox, otherwise its just easy. i dunno if the new housing comes with the needle bearings, but those probably just need a long pic to pull out of the old one. do you have pictures of the ported housing by the way?

It didn't ship out yet. I post them when I comes. There was a bunch of confusion there. I ordered it back Dec 12, but they didn't notice the payment. Then I was considering using the money for the prototype m62 they had sitting around since it hadn't shipped. I decided not to though especially after seeing the 1320. Now, I'm waiting for it to ship finally. I was just double checking with them and you guys that it won't be hard. So, I have to let them know to ship it monday and then it will come eventually lol.
