Changing sliders on RT 1000 162"

[PM 119]

When changing the sliders, does the suspension have to be removed? They measure out wider than the holes in the track, and I don't think I can twist them enough to get them through. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Cory

I just cut the two holes a little bigger and pulled them out.
Doesn't hurt anything and a lot easier than pulling the skid .
Only have to cut very little and ready for the next time.

yup, did the same on my 1000rt 162"........... Just cut 2 of them a little bigger and a chisel, and hammer and vice grips and some serious elbow grease to get them out...... They go back in a lot easier, and use some wd40 or other lubricant to aid installation.

Thanks for the info. I've done quite a few, but never came across this hole issue before. I'm doing it tonight.
