Without the sled running, and having the track tension right you should be able to turn it over by hand with litle to medium force aplied. Just go in the skid with it on the stand and spin the idler wheels. If you here a grinding noise and/or feel roughfness you got to change the bearing.

paintball: It's an EXT Special, not PS.

I do not hear any grinding noise but it is a little hard to turn. Track tension is right i do nor think it will hurt to just pull the skid out and check everthing i mean it does not look like i will be riding soon

one of the slids is very worn. Track is missing about 10 clips i think it is time to put a new track and slids on plus the track clip are real rusty and not smooth
