Thanks everyone
Anyone with a 2013 800, let us/me know how you fared removing your exhaust pipe/Y-pipe springs when you apply Permatex to the joint. If your like me and you hate oil being some where it's not supposed to be you will be doing this.
I don't have a good picture right now but it's the spring at 4 o'clock to the right of the top center spring is the bugger. The curvature of the exhaust pipe impedes removing/installing the spring.
I don't want to brag but..... this is a looker.
Notice the home made track dolly? No stress on the paddles.

I make one with a double loop of stainless wire then make a smaller 1/2" loop in the ends. It ends up about 6" long and easily fits in the tool pouch and lasts for years.
You put a screw driver through the end loops to make it a t-handle or use your boot lace idea for tough to get at places.

this thread has alot of tension...
Another option. Comes in 6", 12" & 15" versions.

The large t-handles like this(10" or more), and the more notches at the tip the better, is what you want. It allows two hands on the tool for great leverage in any direction. You'll never struggle with springs again.

Hey Magic, my spring tool is better than yours, lol!
yes...but a tool for a sprung spring is better then no tool for a spranged spring..and extended is better then coiled..
so stick that in your pogo stick..

Drop buy Cal Ranch and get a replacement spring for a spring tooth harrow. Cut it in two with a die grinder and heat the end with a tourch and bend a hook on it. Yields 2 tools. Because it is spring steel it is a little flexable but really rough. Learned that one using old worn out harrow springs.

Yep works for me !
I have the Ski Doo spring tool. Cheap and works awesome. Best part is that is has the notch in the end so you can push springs too. I have a package of small magnets and can just stick one to the side of the tool for that. But it won't work on a Pro...
