Cut smooth with knife and forget it. Or jbweld or new ski.

I just trimmed mine with a knife when that happened - didn't think about it again.

You should get new bolts for the skis as well with nuts, washers etc. Good idea to grease and take apart as the rubber that goes between the ski and spindle often needs to be replaced. Also makes life way easier. And I don't run carbines, just the metal runners. The glance off rocks better and while living in the rockies I hit rocks often or wear them out on access. Cheap too , 40$.

Why new bolts and washers? Ski kit came with new nuts, so set there but the bolts and existing washer look fine to me - plenty of grease on the bolt still when I disassembled (I assume white lithium grease is fine during reassembly?). And yeah, I went with new rubbers - stay safe out there kids. Now that I think about it, it was just metal running bars the kit came with - no carbides.

Great day out on the new toy.

I thought the bolts were seized stuck, my bad.

^ Nah, just the spacer seized to the axle sheathe (in the diagram above it was part 8 and 14 that seized together).

Sweet photo Shredhead - looks like an amazing day.

Damn nice pic! that's what I envisioned when I bought my sled..getting into the backcountry w some buddies for some turns...but haven't made it a priority or let stuff get in the way, at least thus far.

anyway, I read about Grant's cabin a while ago being closed. something about a lame land ownership issue w the county. did the owner ever get it squared away?

Read the thread from start to finish and you'll have you answer. Or buy the red one that runs.

Seems a good time to ask this question, as it came up today......

please indulge my extremely forward, uneducated, quick and dirty inquiry: How much should I be paying for a 2008 summit 800 154 with 1050miles in good to very good condition?
