4. Remove the wear bar from the ski
and account for the location of the
bushings (if applicable).
Installing Ski Wear
Bars
1. If applicable, place the bushings
onto the studs; then move the
wear bar into position on the bot-
tom of the ski.
NOTE: If installing a double-off-
set wear bar, the carbide edge
must be directed to the outside of
the ski; however, on the T660
Touring models, the carbide edge
must be directed to the inside of
the ski.
2. Align the wear bar studs with the
holes in the ski; then install the
washers (if applicable) and lock
nuts. Tighten to 1.5-2.1 kg-m (11-
15 ft-lb).
ADJUSTING SKI
STANCE (M-Series/
Crossfire/Bearcat 570
Models)
1. Place the front of the snowmobile
on a support stand.
2. Remove the cotter pin; then
remove the slotted nut and cap
screw securing the ski assembly
to the spindle. Remove the ski.
Account for the rubber damper,
inserts, and washers.
3. To increase ski stance 2.5 cm (1
in.), place both ski stance spacers
to the outside of the spindle.
4. To decrease ski stance 2.5 cm (1
in.), place both ski stance spacers
to the inside of the spindle.
5. Apply a low-temperature grease
to the non-threaded portion of the
cap screw; then slide the cap
screw through the ski accounting
for the rubber damper, inserts, and
washers.
NOTE: Install the cap screw so
the slotted nut will be located to
the inside of the ski.
6. Apply red Loctite #271 to the
threads of the cap screw; then
tighten the nut to 6.2 kg-m (45 ft-
lb).
7. Place the cotter pin into the ski
cap screw and spread the pin.
8. Repeat procedure for the other
ski.
