I got the front bolts to the suspension back in - that was very easy after I compressed the back and put a strap to hold it there. (I thought that was the hard part?) Now, the back holes are about 3/4 of an inch from lining up. The suspension is to far in back of the hole. I have the rear shock compressed as far as it can go. Any easy way to get these lined up??? Please help! I really would like to get this job out of the way and start putting the studs in today since I have off today.

I found that using a ratchet strap and starting at NO compression slowly tightening until they line up.
Just a idea

I GOT IT!!! I put a ratchet strap on the ski, back to the arm where the rear shock is. It wasn't to bad. Now, for the studs! I can see why it would be easier to stud it when the track was off. This will take awhile.
Thanks for the idea.

An electric drill with a deep well socket will make removing/installing studs go much quicker.;)
