Scary Hyfax removal!

[leech~~]

So, I'm replacing my hyfax tomorrow and I was watching a few videos on the "tube" to refresh. One video was of this guy changing his hyfax on a Yamama I think it was. He pulled the hyfax out the end of the track hole a few inchs, then started his sled and tried to walk it off the track by spinning the track!

Of course it spun a little to far around and he had to back it up but I was like What the h@ll?

That could have ended Bad!

Has anyone else done it like that?

Is it a youtube video? post it if you can..... sounds weird.

I've changed hifax many times by knocking them out the track window, doesn't take long if things go right.

Yes utube, but I'm not sure how to post vids? I have replaced a few of them using a side hammer through the track hole, but I'm never going to start my motor with the track loose and 55" inch's of hard plactic flying around!

Here's the Utube video title: Nytro Hyfax J's Garage

Seems like this guy has it figured out:

Just checked out the video, definitely a different way to do it, up until the last sled I had, I never had reverse so it never crossed my mind but I think I'll stick with the way the polaris guy does it

Well, ya as long as you keep the Dog & Kids out of the way when you hit the gas!

both good videos. I do the first method, but I clamp a vise grips onto the hyfax, then with the hammer pound the old one out. I always use wd40 on the new slides. I have my new hyfax ready to be installed, tomorrows task.
