Is the sled under warranty still? You didn't say what year it is. If your dealer can't fix it, call Bombardier and tell them so. I wouldn't bother messing around with something the dealer should be able to fix. Mind you I saw a couple of Ski-doo dealers in New Hampshire that make my garage look like the new race shop in Valcourt. I wouldn't take my wheelbarrow to them to get fixed. We had a Polaris dealer in the area that looked pretty brutal too. (Durham area, not Apsley. You guys will know who I mean)
