I read all the posts about Hyfax replacement, so I started the other night and was having a hard time removing. I went to the mechanic at the dealership and asked him if he had any tricks to get them out, and he says "YOU HAVE TO PULL THE SKID AND REMOVE THE TRACK" (What a moron). I continued last night - made the windows in the track just big enough to get the slide out (razor knife) and then I pounded from the front of the slide with a 3/8 wood dowel and a 3 lb hammer. this seemed the easiest way to move the slide.
I did break the second machine srew off in the skid - I had to drill a new hole and put in a self threading machine screw to hold the slide in. When I pull the skid for Maintenance, I will have to drill out the broken screw and retap.
I put moly dry lube on the inside of the new slide, so hopefully they come easier next time.
