I'm trying to change slides on my xp. It has the camo extreme 2.5 on it. The windows in the track are not wide enough to allow the slide to come through the track window. Am I not doing something right here? I've changed multiple sets of slides and never any trouble. This is the first time since I've put this track on that I've had to change them. Any advice would be great! Thanks!!

Never had a problem, but they're tighter than others it seems... I put a touch of grease on the window to make it slide through easier.

You need a 3" deck screw, Vise grips, 50/50 water / dishsoap, and some muscle.
Screw deck screw into the hyfax about 1.5 - 2", just enough so you can grab it really well with the vise grips, then spray everything with windex ( spray oil works but windex or 50/50 water / dishsoap will not harm the track ) , and pull.
I've found that a friend with a dead blow or the like and a drift can help things along from the front... but you can do this by your self.
Push comes to shove you can open a window on each side with a utility knife without any ill effects.

It takes about 15 minutes to pull the skid....I like to lay the sled on its side.
Or, as mentioned you can cut 2 windows a little wider, but this will void any track warranty.

Loosen the rear wheels/axel all the way to allow the track to shift in the back....do one side at a time pulling the track over to allow the hifax slide out.
