Choose a pin between chain guiding
bar and cable retainer.
Make sure the pin is in the

To prevent the pin from falling into
the chain slot, use a duct tape as
cover at the end of the tool.

opening tool.
Make sure the chain pin is between
adjusting tool and screw of the

Turn the spindle until the chain pin is fully
removed from the link.
Loosen the spindle and the positioning screw.
Make sure that the loosened pin

holes in the pin sleeves of the link
are on the outer of the chain.
