    Excellent information, especially using the tie down strap to facilitate reinstallation. I found that if you measure the bolt hole centers from inside the tunnel, you can use that information when adjusting the tie down strap.

    Nice video again! I'm new to snowmobile so that helps a lot! I would heat up the chaincase with a heat gun so the aluminum would expand.

    That’s a good thought! Heat up the chain case before putting the bearing in! It would help it slide in easier! Thanks for that!

    Don't even have a snowmobile but now I know how to change the track! 😂 I'm Canadian and never rode one so I'm getting mechanically inclined before I get one

    instead of rachet strapping the suspension, could i just remove a bolt from one end of the shock? (to allow the skid to collapse without force from the shock)

    I might be nervous that then you’ll fight getting the shock back in inside the skid. Trade one difficult task for another. Try it and let us know!

    ive broke 3 pairs of snap ring pliers trying to remove that snap ring... what tool are you using and what the trick to getting it out?

    I pretty sure I had bought that snap ring plied kit off the Mac Tool truck. But it’s just a 90 deg snap ring plier. Nothing particularly special about it. Just make sure you’re using the right size.

    Next time you do a bearing , put the bearing in the freezer for a bit, use a heatgun on the race and it will pop in. Great video !

    It's never a good idea to apply force to the inner race of a ball bearing. They are not thrust bearings and you can damage the ball cage inside. Anytime you're applying force to a ball bearing that you don't want to ruin it should be on the surface that is binding. In this case you should have had a socket or something that fit the outside ring of the bearing instead of the inside where its applying all of the force to the balls.

    This ☝️ I 100% agree with you. If this bearing would have required more force than it did to install I would have spent more time to find something to apply the force to the outer race. This was just a little quick thinking and it got the job done for me!
