Rear Skid Reinstall Help!

[mtuyamaha]

What's the best way to reinstall the torsion springs in the rear skid? I.m have a lot of trouble trying to get them in the saddles without them exploding off. Any tips?

I used a big crowbar to get them over the idler wheels and into the bracket.

Is it easier to do it with the skid in or out of the track?

I did it with the skid in no problem when I installed Hygear torsion spring spacers. Just need to life the rear up so the spring end can move.

The easiest way to do it is woth the sled on its right side. Do a post search on my name. I did a thread on it with pictures. Super easy and I can have the skid in and out in an hour.
