- On today's to-do list we have to install and align the track on a 2002 Polaris XC 500. Almost everything I go over on this video will be the same on other sleds! So don't let the fact that its a Polaris scare you!

Great job showing the steps, super clear, thank you.
the edges are my favorite sleds. just installed an edge skid on my rx1 and it's like riding a marshmallow. good stuff. nice sled BTW ✌️
For track tension and alignment, don't put too much stock into the adjuster bolts being set exactly the same on either side.
With age and a few bangs, the tunnel and the skid can get a bit of a twist.
Just adjust for tension and alignment as shown.
You do a great job on here. Thanks!
Thanks for posting 👍
Nice video as usual! Thanks! 💪😎
Excellent video. Thanks for the tips, this will help me hopefully get the skid back attached to my arctic cat z 370
Thank you! Those are good sleds!
this is really helpfull!
I did my 2000 Cat ZL 550
That last line tho 🤣🤣 thanks for sharing! I’ve never thought about measuring the bolt spacing before putting it in!
I like ur homemade adjustable stand
Thanks it’s custom! 😎🤘 thanks dad! 😂
Nice pro tip
I have been having a hard time lining up the two red bolts, going to try your strap trick
Good! I hope it works out for you!
I just unspring the rear springs instead of using a ratchet strap. work great every time.
Awesome! There’s always lots of ways to skin the cat!
Just undo the rear springs and you can collapse the rear shock, and place the rear mounting shaft wherever you need to,
You can do that! I think you’ve still gotta fight with the rear shock but ya that would work
You did that the hard way for sure. You don't need a strap at all when you do this job.
I don’t know another way 🤷🏻♂️ and I do like one track every 2 years so it works lol
Pretty sure you do. I just did this job and the back ones don’t line up without the strap
@@ToyShop9665I just put mine back in my 79 Yamaha Enticer, definitely need a strap. 👍. Was looking for a proper tension video when I saw your video.
If you pop out the springs on both sides you definitely don’t need the strap! All the strap does is fight the spring tension that is totally avoidable 😊
I’m a believer of work smarter not harder. Good luck!
I have that from left skid bolt snapped off. Do you think I have to remove the whole skid to replace it? Thanks.
Ya probably 😅 that sucks. You might be able to leave it in the track but it’d be easier to drop the skid all the way down
Use a jack under the track
That would work too!
Have to do mine soon. Nice instruction. But mine is a yamaha
They’re all pretty similar! Best of luck to you!
real bogie wheel looks like it needs new bearings
nevermind, I see you have the bolt loose
Yup 😂
Hey I did this but now my track don't move what did I do wrong Im positive I put crank case all back the way it came out?
Is the track too tight? Does it have reverse?
Do it without a helper
I have but its easier with someone and I had nothing to prove lol use a floor jack and adjust the height of the stand at the rear and its not terrible!
Bruh, tip the sled on its side. You did this the hardest way possible.
Never done it that way 🤷🏻♂️
I've done many skid remove and installs, mostly Polaris. This way, along with some learned techniques is by far easier than tipping the sled.
I have never met anyone who used this method a rachet strap no thanks
To each their own! I found it helpful!
yea , just because the book says, remove hood, tip on side, doesn't mean that is the only option
You jack up the back end and losen the track
