how to get the skid out

[backcountry_vmax]

i have done a search and cant find any info on this. i got the rear and middle bolts out but i cant fit a wrench or ratchet in the foot wells to loosen the very front bolts. how do you loosen them. Help

pull the plugs in the side plastics and a long extension and a socked is all that is needed

ok i got the skid out and i want to get the transfer rods off. how do you get that wheel off. what tools do you need. im scared to start hammering on it lol

Gear pullers work well just be careful, sometimes you will need to replace the bearing.

Sometimes it comes off with a little hammering on the wheel key word a "little"

there is a circlip on the inside of the wheel to remove. It's a PITA, but not bad with skid out... I did mine with skid in.

Wowsers glad you mentioned that, make sure you pull the one off the shaft first if that doesn't work you can pop the one out of the wheel and pull the wheel off the bearing then use the gear puller to pull them off (note this breaks the bearing usualy as they can be seized on wear eye protection i blew one apart last year not a good thing but it came off.)
