Did they use loctite? The best advice I have is put the bolts back in that you removed then run it really hard then give the last bolt a go with a torque wrench or breaker bar if necessary.

Never...never...never had this problem. How did you snap a socket>?

It's not a socket, it's a shitty little hex like bit that snaps EASILY!

Remove the super charger and drill the heads of the bolts off,Can be done with out damaging the pulley.
The drill should line up center in the head of the bolt due to the torque impression in it .
Use a drillbit a little smaller than the head and drill till the head of bolt falls off,repeat for all the bolts.
the pulley should easily come off now and the left over bolt thread can be removed with a visegrip or maybe even unthreaded by hand due to there being no pressure on them now.
Be patient and take your time .
If red loctite was used some heat might have to be applied to the threaded stub ,it requires 400 deg to release but I doubt you will need to.

Also you can start with a small drill first so that the bigger drill follows the hole.
dont drill any deeper than the depth of the heads.
Good luck.

Same happened to me. You should have had 2 bits that came with the kit though. I got my last screw out with the second one.

I took a set out with a chisel on one car. You just have to catch them on one side, to unscrew them. Once you break them loose, they will come out by hand. You of course ruin them when you beat them out like that, just replace them with some nice allen head bolts and you are good.

I was about to get the air chisel out, but it wasn't needed on that car. I've done 3 or 4 of them, and most came out fairly easy, just by hand, no biggie. Never had one fight me like this car did.
