I think it's a 2-step process where, unfortunately, step 1 is "remove supercharger", at least that's my experience with my XJ (you might be in the wrong forum looking at your signature but I don't think the charge cooler designs are different).

Have a look thru the above as a starter. 2nd one is where I detail my issues first time around.

There is quite a lot of info in here but VERY difficult to search for. I removed my SC three times so had it down pat. Several bolts you have to do by feel around the elbow connection.
There is one bolt at the rear middle of the SC that you have to get out as well.
