2015 switchback pro-s rear track spring replacement...HELP

[bearcat]

Hey everybody, I recently purchased the HD rear track spring for my 2015 switchback pro-s 800. Any links to threads or videos on how to change this spring would be greatly appreciated! The part number of said spring is 7043160-293 if that has any relevance. Thanks in advance.

I bought the HD spring before I ever rode the sled. I still have not put it on.

Stolen from another site:

1, remove seat.
2, remove bolt holding tank .
3, slide tank over so you can get the shock bolt out .
4, remove shock bolts
5, remove shock, clap in vise with soft jaws
6, with a spring compressor remove collar
7, remove spring
8, add big boy spring
9, compress spring reinstall collar
10, reassemble
