	Knipco heater blowing into the rear of your sled. Don't get it too close to melt your track though. That's the best (and only) option I would think a person has if you don't want the water in the shop. Post your sleds and other toys/vehicles online: www.supermotors.org Some people are like Slinkies... Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs. I once prayed to God for a bike, but quickly found out he didnt work that way...so I stole a bike and prayed for his forgiveness. A friend is someone who will help you move.

	i got alittle torpedo heater that i hoook up to the propane tank. put it inside and have the heater blowing towards it just not really close. or take alittle hand-held propane torch and heat up the areas needed to undo the bolts/nuts, pull the skid out and take it in your house and put it in the bath tub and turn the shower on with hot water :) Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Hit the car wash. Coin op car washes usually have heated water to the wand. Spray it out good and get the chunks out. You will still have a thin layer of ice depending on how cold it is, but that's alot easier to deal with than what's in there after a ride. That's worked well for me in the past.
