Paxton Woes!

[mfg]

The most common failure in a Paxton ‘SN’ supercharger is a failed planetary drive…

This can involve as many as …..?….. parts.

1) two…..2) five…..3) seven…. or…..4) eight

I'll say #4, eight parts because I think there are 5 balls, plus the ball driver, and two races. (if the output shaft surface is damaged, that would be another item to replace.)

A driver, five balls, output bearing, two outer races, maybe the scroll housing and impeller.

Paul you are correct with EIGHT… however, you need to include the output shaft as a definitive part of the assembly, whereas the ball driver is not.

You’ve ‘hit’ the eight key pieces, but need to leave out the ball driver, scroll, and impeller.
