Assemble the tool as shown in (Fig D) for pressing side plates.
01. Thread the Center Screw into the Body of the tool.
02. 2 pieces Holding Tip (H) of the Center Screw and Body bottom, and lock them on screw
thread at two sides.
03. Refer to (Fig D) as there are 2 pieces Press Block, Shallow (J) and Deep (K), and lock into
the 2 sides Holding Tip (H) hole of the Center Screw and Body bottom.

and the Deep Press Block (K) on the Center Screw side end of the tool with the Master
link plate underneath.
(The installation direction depends on the chain link, Deep Press Block is distance
of chain pin protrusion.)
05. This tool can be used to quickly remove the chain by conversely assembling the Shallow
Press Block (J) on Center Screw and Deep Press Block (K) on the bottom of Body, and then
repeating the Fig.E-Action.7.
(Different chains may require different operation.)
(Fig E) Chain assembly and riveting or mushrooming the head of hollow link pins. Riveting process is
not required on solid link pin style master links with elongated U clip retainers.
01. Check the chain manufacturer’s instruction or workshop manual for installation.
02. Install the new chain over the pulley’s sprockets and swing arm.
03. Use BS1164 Drive Chain Tension Puller to fix the distance of Master Link
04. Using the new Master link grease the O-Rings and place these on the master link pins.
05. Join the chain using the master link from the back of the chain with the pins facing outwards.
The rear sprocket will provide a position for the links to be joined easily.
06. Grease the Master link pins and install the O-Rings onto the hollow pins and then position the
Master link backing plate. Greasing the backing plate will hold the plate in position prior to
riveting. Note Ensure that the O-Rings are on the underside of the backing plate.
07. Using the Forcing Screw or 21mm spanner tighten the Center Screw checking that the link is
correctly aligned.
08. Compress the chain link until the chain Master link pins protrude above the Master link backing
plate.
09. Ensure that the link is evenly compressed on both sides. This measurement can be easily
checked with a vernier caliper. Refer to the chain manufacturers specification of recommended
protrusion as this may vary depending on the brand of chain.
10. For Master Link U Clip design attach the U clip ensuring, Using BS3506 Chain Link Pliers to
install that the U clip locks the backing plate firmly in position. (Fig F)
