X2. I have one and used it twice this year. Works as designed.

Can you take the wheels off with the skid in the sled?

NO

You’d have to disconnect it from the tunnel but I don’t think you’d have to pull it all the way out

Just wondering. Changed those wheels on my Apex no problem with the skid in.

What did you push the new bearing in with? For the other idlers I used a vise and wood to get it started and then used a socket with the same outer size as the bearing to seat it. I don't have a socket as big as this bearing. I thought perhaps I could use the old bearing, but I think that might just get stuck after doing that.

Take a slitting wheel and cut the outter race off the old bearing and use the inner race to press it.
