5.9 Removing and replacing feed chains
Each chain has a master link, which must be disassembled in order to remove the chain.
The master links come from the factory facing outward, and they are easily recognizable
because they look different from the rest of the links.
See Figure 5-10.
Remove the master link by placing a flat tip screwdriver behind the ends of the C-clip,
apply pressure, and carefully push the C-clip off of it’s mounting points.
IMPORTANT! The C-clip is made from spring steel and can easily fly
off, getting lost during the removal operation. Perform this operation in
a clean, well-lit area.
