I worked as a professional mechanic all my life and could feel every bit of your pain . Kind of job where you all most have to pack a lunch for the trip . Finn grandparents on my mom's side .
I feel your pain, my 2013 Tundra LT 600ACE has the full wrap around HD bumper and it hinders the outward flexion of the side panel even further. I struggled to get the batter out of the battery box. I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to remove the can. I think the design would have been better if the pop rivets in the bottom were removable fasteners that allowed the complete removal of that side panel portion of the body. Thanks for sharing the video and your struggles.
my sleds from the mid to late 1990's were so much easier to work on compared to todays sleds. even changing a spark plug can be a chore now. also, sleds in back then had a lot more comfortable riding position allowing me to stretch my legs out when i wanted.

Sisu!
Well just did a track change on my 2011 tundra. And your video is my experience lots of bad words and scratches on knuckles. But helpful.

I agree. I am contemplating drilling them our on my machine, and replacing them with small SS bolts , washers and lock nut.
These videos are great, I just picked up a 2018 Tundra (the 600 Ace). Though my engine is different its still enjoyable to watch. Keep em coming!
Thanks for the video really helped me with my 2019
Is there not a drain plug to drain the chain case oil? Seems crazy to go through all that to change the oil
Hi Guy this exercise was more about getting to the chain case tensioner. I believe skidoo service would just extract old oil with a pump.

Very true Mike.
