1#25 CHAIN TOOL OVERVIEW
This custom-designed tool allows teams to easily break and re-assemble #25 chain. The mandrel is used to push out the
chain pin. If using master links, the pin can be completely removed, but the depth guide screw allows the option of
partially pressing out the pin and then re-assembling without master links.

1.1 KIT CONTENTS
The REV Robotics #25 Chain Break Tool comes with the following:
•1 Chain tool block
•2 set screw mandrels
•1 depth guide screw
•1 cup point set screw
•1 3mm Allen Wrench
CAUTION
Before using the #25 Chain Tool for the first time, remove the thread pin screw and use WD-40 or compressed air to
remove any shavings left in the tool from the manufacturing process. This will ensure the chain break works
smoothly and efficiently breaks your chain. Reinstall the thread pin screw. Once this is complete the chain break is
ready for use.

2USING THE TOOL
This section of the guide details two ways to utilize the #25 Chain Tool, using master links and resetting the chain pin.
The included 3mm Allen Wrench works on all three screws of the tool.
2.1 USING MASTER LINKS
Step 1
Unscrew the pin screw and compression screw such that
they are flush with the chain channel.
Step 2
Insert #25 chain (REV-41-1365) into the chain channel
and align the desired link between the two vertical pins in
the channel.
Step 3
Next secure the chain in place with the compression
screw. Tighten until the chain cannot shift within the
channel.

Step 4
With the chain in place it can now be broken. Turn the
Allen Key until the pin is entirely removed from the chain.
Make sure to have a master link on hand (REV-41-1366).
You must have one empty link on either side; two plates
will not work. The picture shows an example of this step
at completion.
Note: Remove the cup point set screw before breaking
the chain. This will allow for the pin to completely remove
itself from the chain.
Step 5
Place the master link into both links. Next take the plate
and put it over the master link. Use pliers and the
included clip to lock the master link into place.
Step 6
Done! Chain is ready for use!

2.2 RESETTING CHAIN
Step 1
Unscrew the pin screw and compression screw such that
they are flush with the chain channel.
Step 2
Insert #25 chain (REV-41-1365) into the chain channel
and align the desired link between the two vertical pins in
the channel.
Step 3
Next secure the chain in place with the compression
screw. Tighten until the chain cannot shift within the
channel.
Step 4
With the chain in place it can now be broken. Screw the
pin screw down until it almost touches the back screw in
the slot. As result of manufacturing tolerances, the cup
point set crew may be close enough to use as a hard stop
for the pin. The user should stop pushing the pin out
before it leaves the back plate. A link is needed on one
side and on the other a plate and pin. Considerable
pressure will be felt before the pin comes all the way out.
This is a good time to stop and take the chain out and to
check on the pin. The final result will be the pin still
partially connected to the chain (see photo as example).
Note: Be careful to not overly push the pin out as it will be
impossible to put it back in, and a master link will be
needed.

Step 5
Put the link into the plate, and place the extruding link
next to the compression screw in the chain channel.
Step 6
Turn the compression screw until the pin is fully seated
back into the chain channel.
Step 7
Done! Chain is ready for use!
