Doug Stangl of Winnepeg, Manitoba shared with us his method of removing hyfax (sliders) from a Ski-Doo with small track windows; “I have found that if I raise the back end of the sled off the ground, remove the back two bolts from the skid and let it drop to the floor and then loosen the track adjusters right off, I am then able to shift the track over just enough to pull the sliders past the outside edge of the track. After replacing the sliders I use a floor jack under the skid to jack up the suspension to align the holes in the tunnel so I can re-install the suspension bolts.â€
By dropping the suspension partially out of the tunnel and loosening the track all the way, Doug has found this provides just enough slack in the track to pull it off to each side to get the hyfax out of and back into the sled.
