Title: Kawi Invader Sliders
Post by: Intrigued_440 on December 25, 2012, 01:19:25 AM
Just wondering how you guys make the bend on the end piece where the screws go in. I don't want to break the sliders after i payed $54 for two! Much help would be appreciated. Supposed to be expecting a good amount of snow by Wednesday/Thursday would love to get the sled going!

Liberal spraying of WD40 is what I've always used.  Plus I never put them on in the cold.

I like to run a hot bath leave them in for 20 mins, get a helper... Tap with dead blow hammer or a regular hammer and block of wood... any bit of lube on the aluminum skid helps even veggie oil or dish soap works.

Make sure they are going on straight, when they are good and warm it's easy to wreck them by tapping them off course which chews through the side of them... Take ur time and don't be afraid to give it a good wack.... Some of the aftermarket hyfax aren't exactly perfect, so it will likely require a bit of swearing!

I am praying for sno for us man! and I don't pray, lol
