One of two scenarios,

Does the bolt feel like it loosened and came out of the outer support plate nut and now the bolt is stuck inside the sleeve. So the sleeve is turning when you turn the bolt?

It feels like its still stuck in the outer support tha plate next the ibr motor, it just turn and turns..... thanks

That’s the second scenario which is not so good news. There is a left and right fixing plate that holds the nuts to your bolts that are turning in the fixing plate. Both left and right fixing plates need to be replaced.

Get yourself a service manual.

Good news the plates are not that expensive, bad news there is quite a bit of labor involved and also not sure on the process to get the spinning nuts off the bolts other than to gain access to the outer plates and find someway to hold the nuts.

Tips: for DIY

1. Service manual is a must. IBR Actuator/motor is expensive.

2. Good time to replace your plastic bushings and friction sleeves.

3. Order new bolts where specified and torque to specs unless you want the same thing to happen again.

4. Take your time and make sure the IBR gate is installed correctly before powering up your ski or you could mess up your IBR motor / actuator.
