Hey, just started to rebuild/replace bearings on my 95 VMAX 600 LE skid if anyone has any pointers on doing this that would be great. Also having trouble finding where to get bushings, washers and spacers. So far have skid out and half apart.

thanks

This would be perfect time for an upgrade.
I wished I would have upgraded my 95 skid the second time I replaced the rails due to cracking.

If your do rebuild yours, it might be cheaper to get a whole skid just for the parts you need.
I have never had to replace any washers or spacers on any of my sleds. You must have some serious wear on yours?
There is only one small bushing on my 95 that worn out many years ago and I made a new one out of a strip of plastic from the material of a spray can cap. My handmade one has lasted 4 times longer than the factory bushing.
 
thanks for the feed back.
Its a new sled to me, guy before me replaced the front wheels with bigger ones and didn't do it right so need spacers and lock collars. have it pretty much back together theres not a whole lot of wear really its just the bearings.

And as for bushings, when i took the front arm apart it had two small plastic bushings on the tube that were pretty ripped up.

Think I might just grease everything really well and put it back in and ride it until i find a deal on a newer skid.
