
installation purposes.
3. Remove the ski. Account for the rubber damper,
spacers, and washers.
INSPECTING
1. Inspect the ski for cracks or deterioration.
2. Inspect the ski for abnormal bends or cracks.

4. Inspect all hardware and the spindle bushings for
wear and damage.

NOTE: The ski damper must be positioned in the

ski so it is directly under the spindle.
3. With the cap screw hole of the ski centered with the
spindle axle, slide the cap screw with washer through
the outside of the ski and spindle assemblies.
NOTE: Install the cap screw so the lock nut will be

located to the inside of the ski and the cotter pin slot
in the cap screw will be horizontal with the ski.
4. Install the remaining washer and lock nut; then
tighten the lock nut to 16 ft-lb.
NOTE: Ensure that the cotter pin slot in the cap

screw is still horizontal with the ski.
5. Install a new cotter pin from the back side of the ski
cap screw and spread the pin.

Ski Wear Bar

The ski wear bar is a replaceable bar attached to the
underside of the ski. The purpose of the wear bar is to
assist in turning the snowmobile, to minimize ski wear,
and to maintain good steering control. If the snowmobile
is operated primarily in deep snow, ski wear bar wear
will be minimal; however, if the snowmobile is operated
on terrain where the snow cover is minimal, the ski wear
bar will wear faster. Arctic Cat recommends that the ski
wear bars be checked once a week and replaced if worn
to 1/2 of original diameter.
REMOVING
1. Using a suitable stand or lift, raise the front of the
snowmobile off the floor; then remove the lock nuts
securing the wear bar to the ski.
2. Pry the rear of the wear bar down until the wear bar
studs are clear of the ski; then slide the wear bar rear-
ward until the front of the wear bar is free from the
ski.
3. Remove the wear bar.
INSTALLING
1. Insert the front of the wear bar into the hole at the
front of the ski and swing the wear bar upward; then
insert the wear bar studs into the holes in the ski.
! WARNING
DO NOT bend the ski wear bar excessively when install-
ing. Excessive bending of the ski wear bar may cause
premature wear, breakage, and possible injury.
2. Center the wear bar studs in the holes and install the
lock nuts. Tighten lock nuts securely.

Tie Rods

NOTE: The tie rod boot does not need to be

removed for this procedure.
REMOVING AND DISASSEMBLING
