the sled is set-up with all adjusters set at the hardest settings as the old owner was way heavier than me and the ride is unbearable. i just want to know how to get at the adjusters to set them at looser settings.i tried with a hammer and punch but not enough room to get it started. is there an easier way or could someone with pictures explain how to take off the skid so i can change these adjustements.i adjusted the front shocks and can feel a difference allready so i want to try this before getting a new skid or new shocks from a viper etc..last plea for help someone help me out please..

theres a jam nut on all the shocks, get that loose and you should be able to spin the spring by hand, then tighten up the jam nut. Lift up the back of the sled, that should give you enough room, but will still be tight.

Loosen track..... support rear of sled.... remove bolts from side of tunnel..starting from rear...there are 3 on each side....let skid out of tunnel, remove from track...installation reverse of removal. One suggestion is loosen the bolt that goes into the bottom of the transfer rods... this will take the pressure off of the center mounting bolts. Have fun.
No real trick to removing the skid. It's six bolts. remove them, roll it on it's side and pull the skid out. I think that the tech pages (tab at top of this page will get you there) has a pretty good write up too.

how do u loosen track ? support rear can i put it up on a chair or blocks ? any pictures or info manuals that will show this..tyhanx all
If your not sure on how to adjust the shock or remove the rear suspension, you are going to have a hell of a time getting the suspension back in.
Find a freind that has experience or take it to the dealer for help.
Where in Wisconsin do you live? Alot of TYers over there that might be able to meet with you and help.

You hold the rear of the sled up on the bumper the same heigth it is now than the shock goes in easy.I never take the shock out to lossen the spring.Knock the jam nut loose with a long drift or old scewdriver.And put a filter strap on the spring and it should back the other nut off with it.Have somebody lift the sled a little if it needs it.
