This ad is for a snout/nose rebuild bearing and seal set including oil for the Eaton M45 supercharger. All bearings used are high quality SKF bearings selected to match the high speed, temperature and specific supercharger clearances as required by OE specification. Vehicle: BMW Mini Cooper S 1.6 Ltr. Years: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. 1 x SKF OE Spec Outer Bearing - 1 x SKF OE Spec Inner Bearing - 1 x Snout Seal - 185ml of the oil in a reusable 200ml plastic bottle / 145ml Front + 40ml For rear if desired. Snout bearings and seals are one of the most common element to wear out on a supercharger as they are taking the undamped strain of the drive belt. Fortunately with a few workshop tools such as a hydraulic press and if needed a blow lamp they can be replaced with this kit. A major sign that your bearings might need to be replaced is a rattle from the supercharger at idle and when worse excessive supercharger noise although this can also be a sign of futher bearing failure. Most motor manufacturers overlook the strain placed on oil by high rotational speeds of superchargers and treat the oil as being filled for life - this is not good practice!

Often, by 40 or 50,000 miles and certainly at higher mileages, the oil can come out like old gravy. Of course, that's usually long past the time that warranties have run out - but by this time the vehicle makers are unconcerned. To preserve supercharger life, the oil needs changing and we recommend this is done by no later than 40,000 miles.

Another very common failure is the sprung coupler that connects the snout drive to the rotors inside. In most cases a rattle from the supercharger is caused by this but can be remedied very easily.

We always advise inspecting the isolator thoroughly, common failures are broken springs and cracked plastic. Look carefully as hairline cracks will open up when in service, this also applies to ageing solid couplers. Please note that this kit does NOT include an isolator however if interested we also supply standard and uprated isolators seperately and where applicable rebuild sets with an isolator inlcuded.
