Scissor Style Chain Tensioners:
b. Release the spring torsion on the scissor style chain tensioner system.
5. Proceed to previous steps 3 and Step 4.
6. Remove the chain from the vehicle.
Installing a Drive Chain
1. Position the drive chain over the slider block and around the drive sprockets.
2. Pull the ends of the chain together and insert the connecting link. When connecting the
RC50-2 chain, insert the inside plates before tapping the connecting link into position.
NOTE
Use a pair of modified 7R Vice Grips to hold the ends of the chain together while inserting the
connecting link. Some drive chains have no slack, and replacement of the connecting link is
difficult without this tool. Modified Vice Grips can be ordered from ARGO, Part No. 658-08.
3. Replace the outside plate and spring
clip. The open end of the clip should face
rearward when it is on top of the chain.
4. Remove the vice-grips securing the cam
assembly in its lowest position.
Drive Chain Take-Up System Inspection
(Semi-Self Adjust)
The semi-self adjust chain tensioning system
consists of a torsion spring loaded cam
assembly with a slider block which takes
up the slack on the bottom side of all but
the front final drive chains. As the chain
wears, the chain tensioning mechanism
adjusts semi-automatically. Under most
conditions, the tensioner cam assembly will
move to the next step of adjustment simply
due to normal drive
system dynamics.
Sometimes, however, the cam assembly
can bind due to debris caught in the area.
