STEP 1.
PLACE THE CHAIN ON STEEL PLATE WITH BUSHING BENEATH MN. BUSHING MUST HAVE HOLE
LARGER THAN PIN, AND MUST BE LONG ENOUGH TO ALLOW PIN TO MOVE.
STEP 2.
STRIKE THE PIN VERY SHARPLY. HIT IT HARD. THIS WILL DRIVE THE PIN FROM THE CHAIN, WHILE
CUTTING OFF COTTER PIN.
STEP 3.
INSTALL NEW PIN AND DRVE COTTER PIN IN PLACE. DO NOT FILE DOWN PINS TO AID IN
INSTALLING. PRESS FITS ARE NEEDED FOR CHAIN LIFE.
