Somewhere or somehow, I volunteered my services to help a friend swap out the track on his 2001 MMax. Now I have done this many times but never on a Yami. The only info I could find is in the "tech section" and it says we need to remove the chaincase.
I'm quite familiar with what's in there, but is pulling the case a PITA? Is this 2 hour job going to be an all dayer?
Just wondering what to expect before we dive in there.
Any tips or advise is appreciated.............thanks

Easy job, just don't disassemble the parking brake. Leave it intact on the case and slide the rotor off with the parking brake still on. There is a keyway on the shaft, so don't forget about it or lose it when it falls out. Also remember what spacer goes on each shaft behind the gears. There are two torx heads on the clutch side bearing that need to be loosened from under the tunnel. Other then that it is real easy

2 hours or so as long as there is no rust. With 2 guys and no beer then maybe an hour.
As Eduun said. Also don't disassemble anything not on the list. Keep a blow-up drawing of exactly the order of the parts in the chaincase.
I prefer the lift it up method as the sled is a but more secure than on it's side.
You should not have to remove the transfer rods just loosen up the nuts nearly all the way.
I've done older Phazers ('85 and '86) that bent drive shafts and 2 different Polaris sleds. By far the easiest so far is the Proaction in my opinion. Since it is not under tension until it is mounted and the tunnel has the cups at the holes to make it so much easier to install by your self.

the o rings in the collars got me, rolled a couple of them and cut them. thought i was kinda hard to get the rotor and everything slid back on. but far easier than screwing with the parking brake.

He found a Camoplast challenger track 2"x 141" that had been sitting on the shelf for sometime.
Changed out the track this past weekend and it went quite well. Removing the chaincase was actually no big deal.
The hardest part was getting the suspension back in, but once we figured out the control rods, it went easy.
Anyways, the tips you guys offered came in handy.........thanks
