2010 Yamaha Nytro XTX
Greetings all,
I picked up a higher mileage 2010 nytro xtx and love the machine, minus the rear end sag. After reading a few posts, I bought a set of springs from a low mileage 2015 Apex XTX. Now to do the swap out.
I'm mechanically inclined and tinker around with little projects, but this is my first sled and I don't want to take it apart and not be able to reassemble it correctly.

My questions are as follows;

1) Any step by step instructions/tips/techniques for replacing the torsion springs?
2) Correct nitrogen pressure for the front/center/rear GYTR clicker shocks on a 2010 Nytro xtx?
3) Does the skid need to be removed from the machine to remove the rear shock?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks very much in advance, guys
 
when i did them on my 2011 apex xtx,

lift the rear of the sled.
removed the springs from the lower rest.
remove upper axle bolts
remove/loosen the set screws that hold the spacers on by the upper wheels.
remove at least one upper wheel so axle with slide out.
exchange springs and reassemble in reverse order.

no idea on nitrogen pressure.

yes the shock can be pulled while in the skid. do it all the time for service on shocks.
 
Thanks a bunch for the input. I really appreciate it. Was concerned that the job is more difficult than it appears to be. Going to take a crack at it first thing tomorrow.
