You have to take the ramp off, but not the diverter assembly. If I remember correctly. They are a bit of a PITA to change, but I shopped 2 High Speeds and left the diverters on both times. I seem to remember needing to wedge the rubbers passed the post/plate using a small screwdriver. Patience is key!

Yeah, they are a pain and do require that you remove the ramp, although as Pinwizkid mentioned at least the diverters can be worked around. They are really hard to get in there and spaced properly, etc. I remember the first ring kit I bought for HS many years ago didn't even have those 5 inch rings in it and I had to order them separately.

Note that the two 5" rings in the back center go around behind the diverter...not in front of it.

Was thinking to changed mine before when I had this machine.
I just gave up and leave it whit the one that was there.And yes it must go behind the diverter.

Working on this at the moment. So, the osts where the rubbers sit has just one notch. I imagine one rubber goes in the notch but should the 2nd go over or under the one on the notch?

From my recent shop out..Shows 1 rubber ring above the one in the notch.

I removed the wood on the back of the playfield as well when i did mine years ago. It helped a bit

I need to replace those rubber rings on my High Speed. I was locating all of the screws to remove the ramp. On the right side of the ramp it looks like there is a rivet holding the ramp in place. See the picture. Must this be removed to remove the ramp?

No, you don't remove the rivet. Remove that plastic between the ramp and the cabinet. I remember it being a little cramped in that area, but once the plastic is out, that riveted bracket is screwed to the PF.

Thank you. I was able to install these 5" rubbers today. I was surprised that the connection to the ramp switches would not fit through the playfield to disconnect the entire ramp. I was able to slide the rubber over the ramp and get to those back posts without the switch wires being completely disconnected.

If only they had switched the plugs, the male will fit through the playfield...Female will not. I reversed the plugs on mine so I could get it in and out easier. The only other way to get the ramp out without removing the back board is to dismantle the switch stacks.

Why are there two 5-in rings? Is it simply because they are so hard to replace....one is just there as a backup?

Freeplay40 I am finally installing your ramp and changing out the rubbers. I am looking at swapping the housings on the pigtail, but it does not look like i have the correct molex pin extractor. What size extractor is used or do you have a link to one?
