One of our readers, Cheong Leong sent me an email asking how to use a chain tool. So I figured that I’ll go ahead and demonstrate on the KMX ST Class.
A chain tool looks like this. Your’s may look a bit different, but it uses the same principle.
You’ll notice in the tool it has a couple of teeth. What you want to do is place your chain in the tool making sure that its lined up properly.
Then you can push the pin out by turning clockwise on the allen wrench or the lever that your tool has.
Make sure that you don’t push the pin all the way, leave a bit of the pin out. This makes it easier when you have to reinstall the chain and you need to get that pin back in.
If you have some sort of mechanical question that needs to be answered an would like to see a tutorial created, shoot me an email!
