Getting a skid out is the easy part, putting it back in is the bitch.

no real ez . put front arm in then use cordless impact and tighten track untill rear arm hole line up .10 min max to slap skid back in 

or if you have float shocks just let the air out

You aren't kidding. I had a hell of a time putting mine in last time. I like that set up.

I've done it plenty but I got it stuck in there all cock eyed and it was a bitch. I wrastled it in there eventually I just have to not lose my cool when shit doesn't go like I plan.

Taking it out is easier on it's side. 

if you pull bolts on first on side it is laying on .

I think it is deff more ez to put in with ass in the air . hard to line up holes on ground side when laying on the side

Pretty cool but nothing new at all. Ive been removing and reinstalling skids this way for over 25 years. 

Ive argued with a number of you on this forum and HCS about this technique for over a decade. 

In 2012 I posted a video of me removing a skid in 90 seconds without impact tools only a ratchet. Same video showed the complete install in under 3 minutes without impact tools. 

I can install a skid in under 2 minutes with impact tools and that is torqued, locktited and ready to ride. 

Cool for sure but everyone who knows the slightest thing about sleds has been doing it this way for 3 decades or longer.

I would absolutely destroy you in skid removal and reinstallation. It wouldnt wven be close.   

There is no harder way to do it than the way you do.

I can flip a vector or any sled on its side in under 2 seconds. Guaranteed 

Not saying it isn't doable just saying it's not very smart, imo.
