I don't know if this will be helpful to you but on the '00 Quadmaster there are 6 bolts. Two on the back of the frame at the corners, two towards the front of the case, and two that attach it to the brush guard. There's two that connect the front portion of the skid plate to the back portion, on my bike those did not go into the frame just bolted together. My bolts were easy to get off. When taking off to prevent breakage or pressure on bolts and when putting back on (working from underneath its a pain in the ***) I just used a bungee cord from the front rack hooked into the skid plate to keep it held up somewhat while I worked.
