I just did mine and it was about the 4 hour mark and I have all the tools and it was easy. just remember to get enough bolts and nuts and rivits to install the new one and replace you A-arm bushings while your there. I did it on a hoist so I was standing up for the complete job so that was nice... would be a bear on the ground I would think. (working on the ground = lots of beer and sore knees)

its a easy job and would help you out if you would like.... the only rivits you put back in are for the plastic and the big rivits are easy to knock off. the six or so large rivits around the upper support are a breeze to knock off and they were the hardest part. every thing else really does fall apart and its kind of funny how we hammer the sleds and there so weak at certain parts

I took it in.... the guy at the dealer said he'd be nice haha, he also said he's going to replace all the rivets with bolts. Thanks for the offer though, that and i dont really have time to do it this week (too much work to do...)

Tweaked my s mod. L.h. Ski was 2" back. With some 3" ratchet straps and a block of wood and a big hammer. Straightened her out. Might still change it out this summer but got 400 miles on it since the repair and no issues
