CAUTION: The chain sprockets have a slip fit onto
their shafts. Apply only a slight amount of pressure
to the chain spreader to release the chain pressure.
If chain sprockets are not spread slightly removal
or installation will be difficult. Overspreading of the
chain sprocket will also make sprocket removal dif-
ficult.
(6) Install chain spreader 6550 and expand to
facilitate sprocket and chain removal (Fig. 160).
(7) Remove chains and sprockets as an assembly
(Fig. 161).
CAUTION: To ensure proper gear ratio, verify that
the correct chain and sprocket ratio is selected.
CAUTION: When reinstalling drive chains, the blue
link must face outward.
