I was going to swap the ski's to the narrow stance on my 11 pro, but when I pulled the ski off I could not get the pin that holds the spacers to move, any tricks anyone ran into this problem and what did you do to fix it?

impact wrench and just unscrew the bolt out of the spindle be careful not to gall the threads, if you use a hammer screw the nut back on until its flush with the end of the bolt and hit that until it pops loose, safer and shouldnt wreck the threads.

Any trick to putting it back in? Does the weight of the sled on the ski get it to line up or do you have to lift up or push down on the spindle to get the bolt through?

Hey Matt it is easier to tip sled on it's side and work on the skis. Also check that rubber pc if damaged get new ones only like $4.

Just like Exh. Valves.. Things get Dirty and NEED to be Cleaned and Re Greased!!!

I have done this 3 times already in 1600 miles..


Funny thing is.. i can push them out with my finger! :)

Also Replace the rubber pad.. each year

I thought I was the only one who cleaned, anti siezed the skis, and replaced the ski rubbers every season. It's amazing to see the crap that builds up in there. I also drilled a dozen little holes in the skis so the water can drain out (make sure you don't drill forward and make snow snakes while you ride).
