So that's what I get for letting my brother in law drive my sled... Kidding, wasn't his fault. Anyway, long story short the front right bolt that holds the suspension to the tunnel sheared off mid ride. So now I've got a few problems to figure out.
1: is it possible to get the broken bolt out without having to remove the entire suspension, or is everything far simpler by just pulling it out.
2: how do I stop the bar that the bolts thread through from rotating as I try and turn the bolt. I remember this being a problem on a different sled with a sheared bolt. We had to take the suspension out anyway so drastic measures weren't a problem, but we ended up having to cut of the bolt head on the other side and pry the tunnel open to get the front of the suspension out.
3: This is the big one, when the bolt broke, something under the sled immediately began cluncking around every quarter to half turn of the track. Am I to assume that this is caused by the suspension being loose on the front and catching the track, and that it will correct itself when the new bolt goes in? Or, is there something else I should be worried about?
Thanks for the input guys and gals.
