4. OPERATION
IMPORTANT:
These instructions are provided as a guide only. Always refer to the motorcycle manufacturer’s service instructions, or
a proprietary manual, to establish the current procedure and data, also any warnings or cautions particular to the motorcycle.
Before commencing work, ensure that the tool is suitable for the selected chain size and connecting link. Ensure that the new
connecting link is of the same size and type as the chain to be connected.
The pins in this set are consumable parts and therefore not covered by the warranty. When selecting a pin, ensure that it is not too big for
the chain pin, as it may jam in the chain, or too small, as it may break.
4.1.
DISASSEMBLING A CHAIN.
4.1.1.
The rivet head must be ground off first.
4.1.2.
Fit a suitably sized pin for the size of chain, into the pin holder
(fig.2.2). Ensure that it is pushed fully home. Ensure that the
pin holder is wound back into the body to allow enough space
for it to fit around the chain.
4.1.3.
Position the matching sized anvil into the aperture in the U
holder and place the U holder over the chain link to be
removed (fig.2.1).
4.1.4.
Slide the pin holder body onto the U holder and tighten the
securing screw in position A (fig.2.3).
4.1.5.
Ensure that the chain link is correctly positioned against the
hole in the anvil at the rear of the U holder, and screw in the
pin holder until the pin is touching the face of the chain link
pin to be removed. Check that everything is lined up.
4.1.6.
Use a 27mm spanner to hold the pin holder body and a
19mm spanner to turn the pin holder. Turn the pin
holder clockwise and proceed to start pushing out the link
pin from the chain.
Re-check that all parts are lined up and that the pin is centred
on the link pin. Continue to push out the link pin (fig.2.4).
NOTE:
If excessive resistance is felt initially and there is difficulty in turning the pin holder, the pin may be too large for the link pin. Try one size
smaller pin and anvil if possible.
4.2.
PRESS FITTING LINK PLATE.
4.2.1.
Connect the two ends of the chain with a new connecting
link.
NOTE:
Ensure that O rings are correctly positioned between the
plates, and that the plates are adequately lubricated - see
manufacturer’s instructions (fig.5).
4.2.2.
Position the U holder over the link so that the end of the
plate’s pins fit into the 2 recesses (fig.3.2).
4.2.3.
Fit a suitably sized pin into the pin holder and position the
plate holder over the end of the pin (fig.3.3).
4.2.4.
Slide the pin holder body onto the U holder and tighten the
securing screw in position A (fig.3.4).
4.2.5.
Screw in the pin holder so that the plate holder is in contact
with the new link (fig.3.5).
4.2.6.
Use a 27mm spanner to hold the pin holder body and a 19mm
spanner to turn the pin holder. Turn the pin holder clockwise
and proceed to start push fitting the link plate onto
the pins (fig.3.6).
Back off the pin holder and remove the plate holder, then
follow the instructions for riveting in 4.3.
4.3.
RIVETING PINS.
4.3.1.
Loosen securing screw and reposition the pin holder
body on the U holder in position B and retighten the securing screw
(fig.4.3).
4.3.2.
Screw in the pin holder, ensuring that the riveting pin is positioned
centrally onto one of the pin heads (fig.4.1).
4.3.3.
Use a 27mm spanner to hold the pin holder body and a 19mm
spanner to turn the pin holder. Turn the pin holder clockwise and start
to push the riveting pin onto the pin. Keep checking to ensure that the
riveting pin is centrally located on the pin and that it is cleanly
riveting it.
4.3.4.
The rivet should be clean, centred and deep enough, see fig.6.
4.3.5.
When the first pin has been riveted, undo the pin holder, re-position
the chain so that the other pin is lined up with the riveting pin
and repeat the above procedure in 4.3.3.
