i would be careful to not let the belt get too loose. I do believe a cause of the hub bolt snapping is due to belt being too loose , the belt loosens a LOT when cold than when hot.
On a sidenote, how much rotrex fluid are you guys seeing in your reservoir with the car shut OFF? I know it’s not the proper way to check, but just curious.

thats not why i found it interesting... ive been using this same procedure since 2016 when i bought and installed my blower and have never read that seeing as how i have not been on facebook in over 5 years
I'm a little late to the party but since I haven't seen it mentioned before I'll throw in my $0.02. It seems I'm one of the lucky few who hasn't experienced a catastrophic pulley or bolt failure and it think it might be because I had an engine torque damper installed before I got my kit. I got it to eliminate the 2nd gear grind but I think it's helped keeping the engine in place and saved the mounting bolts the stress.I have an Ingall's ETD and aside from cutting away a part of the belt cover on the KW kit, it works perfectly fine with the kit. PS, I bought my KW kit in 2015 so I think it was their second version of the mounting kit. Hope you find that useful.
The new vtec bracketry interferes with the ingalls bracket. Here is the modification I made to mine in order to make it fit:

[i]If you want to run a ETD with this kit I would suggest the NRG or equivalent (such as J’s). They will not interfere with the supercharger unit. I coupled mine with the Puddymod mount but from what it sounds like I bought his last one
