how in the hell do you adjust the torsion spring(apex rtx) in the suspension...that is very tight do you have to take the idler wheel off or just force the plastic adjuster..that thing is tight!!how are you suppose to get it back in and reinstall the spring?

I am pretty sure you just rotate the adjuster with a wrench while every ting is still installed it will have like 3 diffrent settings.
You should be able to turn adjuster without taking off wheel and retainer. Does take some effort. Be thankful it is not the 09 spring, it was even stronger!

Have someone or something lifting rear of sled off of the ground. They turn way easier that way.

it was ten times easier than thought to put in suspension,i didn't even unhook the springs and holes lined up no problem
