    I'm not sure where to look for these Phazers? Or Am I missing the obvious. Thanks for the heads up. I picked up my spindle (steering knuckle) on Friday. I ordered new boots for the tie rods. They tell me that the boots are coming international. It is what it is. I guess. The sled is older. I...

    Yeah, I have to agree with you guys. I could not really get on board with the idea. Thanks for weighing in on this one. I priced a new one on Sat. Ouch! $270. Better safe than sorry.. About the spindles. The latest SnoTech shows the ski-doo adjustable ski stance. It's different than Yamaha...

    I need to work on pictures Well, I straightened the spindle on the press. I was a bit surprised to bend it back as easy as it did. It bent as if it were made of steel. Obviously it isn't. Anyway. It fixed the problem. The ski is straight now. The sled must have handled like crap, on that...

    All good ideas. I was close to pulling that front clip. The filter strap was a tight fit to start. It only spun maybe 10 degrees on a 360 degree scale, but it didn't bite. I cleaned the filter and the strap with acetone. No luck. So I punched some dimples in the the strap for a better grip, then...

    That all makes sense. Sounds like a good setup. On Polaris you can drop & roll the chain case to improve the approach angle. That's good info. I only weigh #165. Most sleds don't drop an inch when I take a seat. I haven't touched the suspension, it looks like it should set up well 4 me. The...

    Yeah, for a deep snow sled you couldn't possibly set it up worse. Can you say trench. Because that is what your going to get. All day long. With slack in the limiter strap the approach angle is as bad as you can get. Setting on the center shock is tricky in deep snow. On hard pack too. It's...

    The instructions that came with Schmidts sloppy steering kit says to grease between the shims, washers and parts too, I suppose. Any suggestions, favorites for this type application?

    The parts showed up today. It is supposed to rain Fri. That will be a good day to get back in the garage. I noticed the shock springs up front are set to max. Setting. The left spindle/ski is actually bow-legged. Not cool. Both spring are set the same. Unlike trailing arm suspension, I see...

    Just add oil to the oil tank. Ok. How about that oil plug on the valve cover. I am still a bit puzzled with that one. Still no sign of the parts from Schmidts Bros. Bummer... It's not like I don't have any other projects to finish. Summer's are short in n.e. Mn. Or should I say ,along the North...

    I think I read some where, probably Snow Tech, that Yamaha used to buy the oil from one of the big three and just had their label on the bottles. Apparently they didn't like what they were seeing , in their testing, oil breaking down etc. so they decided to produce their own oil up to their...

    The parts should be here tomorrow. Then I Best Buy that oil filter. Dang it! It just dawned on me, i don't know what kind of oil the original owner used. Regular or synthetic. I use synthetic on my bike (Amzoil) because that's what was in it. I use Mobile 1 in my truck. The truck is from N...

    Maim, I took the videos. I couldn't figure out how to post them. So getting upset with myself I went to Schmidts website again. I must have been looking at the wrong sled ( a previous post I stated that Schmidts had just a two shim kit.) And one might wonder why I couldn't post those videos. So...

    I would like to buy 1 of your steering bushing kits. ASAP. My sled is in the wife's parking stall. I explained that it is her sled. She's not buying it

    I have asked too many questions, and have only managed to confuse myself. The plastic washers you are talking about are the ones on the upper and lower a arms ? Not the pivot arm assembly that rattles all over the place. Is it easier to pull the front clip? I still have to drill the rivets...

    Does anyone know the size of the oil filter off of '11 mtx. . It looks like a cap wrench might work best

    Maim, I have taken off enough body parts, I might as well change the oil while the oil filter is exposed. So I drain the oil tank and change the filter, how much oil will it take to fill to capacity? That steering bushing kit is just what the doctor ordered ! The spindle seem to be ok. There...

    Got it Another ? There is (the schematic calls it a oil plug) on top of the valve Cover? It looks like an inspection hole to me. I'm stumped....
