LOL, sorry I should of stated it better. I know you need tools but I was wondering if you got your atv in the wheelie bar or you used a jack or what ever, because im not sure what to do.

I just laid a piece of clean cardboard down rolled it on top in my garage and put it on while laying under it. Best bet is to clean it first so you dont get dry dirt falling off in your eye. I have to say saftey wise a jack you have to watch out because if it falls off while your laying under it you could crush your mellon and sometimes skids need some real shimmying to get on. I have a steel beam in the cieling of my garage thats strong enough to lift a v8 out of a car or hold my boat in the air for under maitnence so in the past i have hooked my grab bar to that and winched it up with the chain winch i have. Really you shouldnt need to with a wolverine its got close to 9 inches of clearence just lay down and do it. if you have a friend willing have them help hold it in place and get the screws started then once they are all threaded in you can just slowly go around and tighten them but make sure they are all pretty close to tight before you romp down on any of them for the final turns to make sure its seated properly. If you want you could put it up on the wheelie bar. if your planning on doing that start it up and turn the fuel off and let it run for 30 or 40 seconds to burn the fuel out of the carb and leave it off while its vertical so you dont flood it and get gas all over your floor. Just keep an eye out no fluids are coming out where they shouldnt be. Not sure but i have heard leaving some atvs vertical for a long time can cause the transfer case fluid to drain out the breather but i belive that was over a long time, like sorage vertically. That help more?

I just shift it in reverse, shut it down, turn off the gas, and pick up the front end til
its resting on the back rack. it dont hurt it one bit.
If your not strong enough, you'll need a friend to help you though.

Peace
