I am putting a new track on my 80 srx 440 and everything is back together, except for the back 4 bolts on the skid that goes to the tunnel. I cant figure out how to get everything to line up, does anyone have any advice, or pictures? the manual doesn't show much detail so any help would be appreciated.

-Loosen track adjust bolts for the maximum track free play
-If possible loosen suspension springs or shock springs.
-Lay the sled on it's side.
-Install the front two bolts of the suspension.
-install the rear bolts.

I at times have used a basic ratchet strap, like used to tie the sled to a trailer to draw the suspension together some and help compress it to get the bolt started

finally got it back together this morning, I had to remove the spring and strap and everything went into place!
