Default Elite E2-X install - stuck - please help

My kit arrived yesterday, and I had no idea you needed to unbolt the entire supercharger assembly to gain access to the PCV below.

I removed all the bolts and the belt, and the assembly will not budge.

The semi-vague instructions state:

"Remove the strain reliefs (3 per side), and any electrical connections."

Any idea what these 'strain reliefs' are they refer to?

Thanks.

You get all the bolts for the supercharger? Even the ones in the back?

I removed 8 inside - 4 on each side per the instructions.

I used a large screwdriver & was able to pry the lid up with hopefully enough room to access the PCV.

Now I have to buy a 14mm Allen socket.

What a major PITA.

With 1200 miles on the motor, and a weekend of instructing at VIR, there was hardly any oil in the blower intake with the stock setup.

Hmm The lid should come right off then. I did my engine build and put the supercharger lid on myself. Don't remember anything but the bolts holding it on
