So I was trying to get the skis off my Phazer and free up all the seized up linkage, boy what a mess....it's like the previous owner let it set in 8 inches of water, the rest of the sled is in nice shape but the skis and and linkage are a little trying to say the least...oh well such as life with the old sleds. So I ended up snapping off the left hand ski bolt. From there I took the linkage loose, those bolts weren't to bad, and got the ski off with the lower part of the linkage still attached to the ski. Now the problem I'm facing is the aluminum collar that goes through the lower linkage, which the ski bolt goes through, is just spinning in the steel linkage. Which is a good thing except the ski bolt is froze in the aluminum collar. So as I work at getting this out my question is this: Is the collar just one piece of aluminum in there?...in looking at a blow up of the suspension it looks like there might be three pieces that make that up, or am I crazy?

Thinking if I can't get the bolt out of the aluminum collar I'll have to replace it, just cant imagine that there is three pieces in there like the picture shows....or,maybe there is a source for the aluminum that I could cut and make my own...I'm sure I'll run into this on the other side as well.
