this is how to use the motion pro chain tool with a real life example
as i upgrade to a lighter 520 chain
all right this is the actual chain tool and when you open the case
as it comes from the factory it's set for break and the way that you know is you can see that
the b right there is oriented like break if you want it on one of the rivet or the press you
rotate that piece until the pier the r shows up vertically like that so the first thing i'm
going to do is back out the extractor bolt and then you can also back out the body bolt and
then you get this little block here now if we're going to break the chain what we'll want is to put
the handle in this hole that allows us to grip and control it we want to back out the extractor bolt
enough so that underneath in here that extractor pin is about three to four millimeters
retracted inside the body bolt we back that up we put the block in there with the b
for break make sure it fits down in there and then what we're going to do is see that hole in there
we're going to use the extractor pin to come through and push the pin from the chain
through this so i'm just going to pick one to break and i'm going to turn the body bolt
in now by hanging onto this handle and use the 17 here i'm going to get it tight
not terribly tight just snug then i'm going to start turning the extractor bolt in
and what that's going to do is turn that pin inside against that rivet pin and out the
other side all right so i feel it get really loose right there so i assume it's all the way out but
you want to make sure you push the pin all the way through the other side then back this guy out now
oops uh oh what you have to be careful of is in that body bolt is an extractor pin
but you need a spring in there too which that's why it just jumped out at me so you have to take
the extractor pin and put it in the spring drop it down and then you can start screwing this in place
so technically as you turn this in it's pushing that extractor pin against that spring inside
but if you take this all the way out then that stuff will spring out at you so be careful of that
and the kit does come with an extra extractor pin in case you break one so you just
change that out the same way if you get in trouble and there's the pin that came out of the chain
and as you can see now our chain is broke now to install the master link
all right so what you get in your little master link kit is that piece the cover plate you have
four fresh o-rings and then the grease to use on the o-rings some grease on the fingers
there's one o-ring on the inside grease on the second o-ring
and put it on the inside and there's writing on it we want the writing to be up
that master link through we've got our two o-rings here
and i want to put the other two o-rings on those one there and one there and then you put the plate
here
okay now we get our tool again and this time we want to press so we take our little block
out so we get it to where our p is visible for press up there it even tells you it goes up here
or not in the bottom this time but we're going to tighten the body bolt to use that
to squeeze those guys together now the trick is you have to make sure that you're getting it
put on straight so that the little pins can poke into that void looks like it's aligned okay
just gonna put some muscle into it then you want to try to look and make sure that you're
getting about the same gap in each of the o-ring spaces you do on the link above it right okay
now we'll back it off
all right now we want to rivet so we're going to get our block out here
we're going to get the r so now we have our r for rivet that goes there now these are hollow pins
so i'm going to use this kind of peening ball end here and you basically put that
up there so what you're doing is you're going to flare out the end of that pin the pin without
being peened is five point or five point zero four millimeters these being pinned are five point six
four millimeters so it's about point six millimeter flare is kind of what we want
you absolutely do not want to overdo it especially if you see any cracks around there then
you need to scrap it and do a new one back off the body bolt enough dead nuts centered
in there peening it a little bit okay then let's back off and see how it is now it measures 5.51
and we'd like to be
5.64 so let's give it a little bit more 5.62 okay so that's within two hundredths of a millimeter
so that one i like now time to do the other one
and 5.64 so dead nut and that's how you use a motorcycle chain tool subscribe to my youtube
