D. After removing the links described in step 2C, connect the roller chains and determine the number
of pickets to remove. Cut the lacing wire(s) and remove pickets. Re-assemble the woven wire
chain, using Replacement pickets and lacing wires. Note the right and left hand weave of the woven

tack weld ends of lacing wires to pickets.
