Very good - comprehensive and also very helpful. I have done this a few times now - but always good to see someone else do it as well. Thanks for uploading.

145ml of oil on the pulley side reservoir. And 40ml of oil on the waterpump side. Is that correct? Thank you for the video and the torque specs.

@johncolburn4353 yes mate, those are the correct amounts of oil. Cheers 👍

Your sc bearings are grinding...

Just out of curiosity, how could you tell? The oil came out within specs, the water pump side is turning perfectly fine, the shaft/blades looked decent and in the last 10k kms, I've had zero performance issues (with a 17% pulley). Are you referring to the blades making noise ! Go pro cameras mic is quite sensitive, and may be the blades pushing air gave you the idea that gears might be shot! Please share your thoughts so it can be helpful to someone else who is looking to do this job as well! Cheers.
