You may need to "notch" out 2 of the windows in the track.....staggerd of course.........then get the slides pulled out a few (4"-6") inches.......put the machine in reverse and hit the gas! Pulls them right out for you! I do mine 1 slide at a time, when putting the sled in reverse and hitting the gas.

Then put your new ones on.........after you find the windows in the track you notched out!!

Good Luck!

Yes, they do squeeze through the windows, make sure to clean up your rails before installing the new set, a lite coating of lube helps to slide them on also

Thanks for the great info guys.

no need to cut windows-spray some silicone or grease on the inside and outside of window and shell slide right through-do not use a wd40 type lube though-silicone grease is best
also drill a bunch of tiny holes down the slides for better resistance to melting them

We used to this on our drag sleds, but found that for trail use a lot a grit gets inside of those divits and caused pre-mature track clip wear.

angle the holes to the rear and the debris flows out of them
