The right hand bolt on the rear arm just spins inside the arm. Tried a bolt from left side with a jam but up against the arm but that right hand bolt won’t back out. Any tips?
Rear arm (w) can’t get one bolt out

Hey idiot, you are taking the whole skid apart so just separate the two halves, pull the tube off and you can get at it to loosen it.
Thanks, that worked well. Bolt is out now.

That was the best thread I’ve seen in this forum in a week. Lol

Better than talking about Machs
The funny part is this is a machine I sold to a friend (I know, bad juju). I didn't realize until we took it apart that the front arm was smoked. Feeling bad, I was over helping him after he complained he couldn't get that bolt out. I said, hey, you should join TY4stroke, there are answers there for everything. So I posted the thread and then showed it to him. He was all 'wow that was fast'. 
Yes @Stubbs I should have looked at that closer a long time ago. It was in bad shape and it has caused more damage. I had a plan... it was a good plan.. there was going to be some yellow r-motion engineering under there but never quite got to that project and bought the SRX instead.
To make it up to him I ordered some bearings and toys from BOP for him today, he will be ultra happy. Also we found a replacement '10 arm which is much beefier and he is getting everything powder coated tonight so its all good. He is coming over from a 2002 Ski-doo grand touring 700 which is a very fun sled if you enjoy sliding... everywhere.. and if you think standing up is for weenies.. and if you like 6" of travel in your suspension.. and the smell of 2 stroke oil... and you are a first name basis with and recognize the aftershave of your chiropractor.
Anyhow, he is a kid in a candy store right now and I don't have to smell that 700 anymore while following him down the trail and we have another yamaha in the trailer.

I have broken w-arms about six times now and I don't think they have ever broken there.
No idea why it broke there but its been broken for awhile. Its no wonder it was riding harsh and a bit strange. I chalked it up to just not enough seat time on it and every time I went to go check out the skid I talked myself out of it with one excuse or another. Now I know.
The 2010 arm looks a lot beefier. There is a difference in width where the shock bolts into the arm. It is wider on the 10 model (very tight on the 06). Have to go look up how the '10 shock bolts in, there must be some spacers or something between the shock and the ears on the arm.
I am almost as excited to get it all fixed up as I am to start updating the SRX.

There are spacers in the front.

Everything about the Mono II is beefier than the original versions, I haven’t been able to break anything on the couple I’ve had.
