How do you rotate comperssor housing?

I am putting my ported motor, and BNR twins in, and the comperssor housing are out of alignment, I can't get the y-pipe on. The primary need to be raised a little. How do I do this?

Loosen the clamp by squeezing and rotate the housing.

I just went through this. Your gonna laugh. So I spent all freakin afternoon looking for some snap ring pliers big enough to loosen that big snap ring. Finally found some, just when I was getting ready to loosen it I pushed the motor over pretty hard with the Efini y-pipe. The compressor housing just rotated on it's own. It isn't REALLY easy to rotate it but it isn't really that hard. Just bolt the y-pipe up and push it to where it needs to be.

Good luck!
Jeff
