Just so you know, I did not replace that last bolt when I installed my catch can because I couldn’t get it out. Many of us did not replace it. Just be very careful to not over tighten it.
I bought new supercharger bolts from GM to replace the bolts that were accessible and they came with brand new gaskets. It’s all part of the kit so if you want to replace the rubber seals between the supercharger and the engine intake ports you can.
One question I have for ya....... are there dowel pins on the bottom of the supercharger ??
The Hellcat had two dowel pins on the bottom of the blower used to line up the supercharger with the top of the motor. I believe they are also there to keep the supercharger in position and prevent it from shifting from side to side while under load.
Any amount of shift between the supercharger and the motor might cause the belt to get chewed up..

Well, you're not going to get any movement cause it's bolted to the head. And yes there is a guide pin on your left hand side, in fact you should see the hole for it. Yes, it was a snap. I'm thinking of yanking the supercharger back off. It's just sitting on the heads unbolted. I got the bolts but am waiting on the torque wrench. So I might pull it back off and pull the bolt and then change the bolt (tape it half way in) then drop the supercharger back on and bolt it down. Best advise I can give is use 2 people when taking it off.
