changing sliders

[modmanmike]

just wondering if anybody has any tricks to taking old sliders off? it can be such a pain in the azz!

pick up the back end, pour boiling hot water over the hyfax (flush out dirt etc and make sure no ice between rail and slider), line up slider thru back window on track, remove retaining bolt at front of slider, use packing puller (sort of like wine bottle opener with long handle) thru rear window of track into slider, if needed, tap front of slider backwards to get started.
This is my outside on the driveway technique..hot water is the key..

Spray them with WD40 to remove and reinstall - works every time for me.
If your lucky, you can knock them out though the windows on the track and not have to pull your suspension.

If ya don't have a window big enough just ream it out a bit for both sides...

just pull it out 8 inches put you sled in reverse and it comes out like a banana peel. even on a ski-doo there is enough flex in the window.

I also use a slide hammer with a dry wall screw in the end through the track window to take the old ones out, usually the whole job take 10 minutes

Air hammer works wonders , however mine usually pull off pretty easily

Is there any video of this reverse method? Maybe on a cat , I would like to see it
