gt thunder mx link. HELP

[400exmxracer]

So here's the deal. I'm 17. Can rebuild a whole full blown race motor by myself from crank on up, JUST FINISHED!!! and somehow I can't figure out why my gt thunder mx link won't go on right? I've taken the skid off and the air box to make it easier to work on and it doesn't fit right. Any ideas on why it doesn't ? The bottom of my shock spring hits and runs on the inside front of the front of the swing arm. Thanks

Its a pain in the arse but it can be done. I found it easier to bolt the shock to the link then force it on the upper mount.

Did it hit the skid and stuff when you tried to put it on?

[CJM]

It hit my swinger. You cant run a skid with it if I recall, sticks down too far.

Yep, it was a PITA to put mine on also, the spring kept contacting the link and I couldn't get the link to line up for the bolt. I eventually got it after messing with it for awhile. And you can only run skid plates that have the center removed to clear the link. You can either chop up one that you have or buy one from GT Thunder.
