Normally drive chain lubrication

Saturate each chain link joint so that the
lubricant penetrates between the link plates,
pins, bushings and rollers.

link retaining clip with pliers. Do not bend or
twist the clip. Remove the master link.

or damage. Replace any chain that has

a new drive chain on badly
worn sprockets or a badly worn chain
