CHANGING YOUR SLIDES (Hyfax)

 

I will explain the best I can the 2 ways to change your slides (hyfax)  WITHOUT pulling the rear suspensions.

 

Slide Method 1: Need to loosen the track by using a 17 mm and 15 mm wrench on the back axel (Pic 1 #35 & 24)  to crack loose the tension on the wheels that in turn hold the adjusters tight. Then take 14mm deep well socket and ratchet and loosen the track adjusters (Pic 2 #95)  through the windows in the track counting your revolution to aid you in retightening the track later. After the track is loose, remove the Phillips screws (pic2 #3) from the front of the hyfax that holds the  hyfax from sliding backs. These are some times pretty tight but be sure to use the right screw driver tip so as not to strip the screw tip out. Once the front screws are out you can slide the hyfax out the rear of the suspension thru the track window. If the hyfax are tight you can try using a flat screw driver to drive into the side of them with a hammer to aid in pushing them out the back.  If they do not move then go to Method 2 highlighted area. If they do start to come then finish removing the hyfax in the same fashion as stated. Once hyfax are off you can then proceed to putting the new hyfax on. Before sliding the new hyfax on be sure to spray silicone spray or other non abrasive spray to assist you in sliding them on with ease. Watch hyfax carefully so they do not fall off the rail or get hooked at the bend of the rail on the suspension. Be sure to put the Phillips screws (pic2 #3) back in to hold the hyfax in place.  After hyfax are installed proceed to retighten the track. Use spec in the your owners manual or tighten equally until the track can be pushed away at the rail bends slightly with aprox. 10 lbs of force. Turn sled on and run track to check for alignment. Be sure to retighten the rear axel bolt with the 17mm and 15 mm wrenches (Pic 1 #35 & 24) when complete with alignment.

These are some times pretty tight but be sure to use the right screw driver tip so as not to strip the screw tip out. Once the front screws are out you can take a big flat screw driver and force the screw driver between the hyfax and the rail to push hyfax out one of the rear track windows and turn the track to peel the hyfax of the rails thru the track window. Removing the other hyfax in the same fashion as stated. Once hyfax are off you can then proceed to putting the new hyfax on. Before sliding the new hyfax on be sure to spray silicone spray or other non abrasive spray to assist you in sliding them on with ease.
