position spring as shown fig.1. (Anvil not used).
NOTE: If small 2.2 mm breaking tip is used you must also use the anvil
(19) on end of alignment bolt (7) and anvil 2.2mm(18) at position Z on the C
body (6) (see fig.2) to prevent breaking the tip.
4.1.2. The anvil (19) screws onto the alignment bolt (7), the other (18) drops

most motorcycle drive chain (428 to 520).
4.1.3. Put tool over chain, breaking pin tip must be withdrawn at least 2mm
into alignment bolt.
4.1.4. The end of the chain rivet should be held in position by the tool
alignment bolt, and the tool body. Tighten the alignment bolt securely against
chain to hold chain in place.
4.1.5. Tighten extractor bolt with wrench or lever bar until the chain pin is
pushed out completely.
4.1.6. The chain pin will drop out of the hole in the bottom of the tool. (If
you don’t feel the tip pushing down smoothly, check that the tip is correctly

4.2.4. If the pin is hard to insert it can be pushed into place by placing
chain into the tool with the riveting tip (15) withdrawn 2mm into the
alignment bolt and tightening the alignment bolt until the pin has been pushed
through the link.
4.2.5. Ensure that an equal length of pin shows on each side of the link
4.2.6. Position the tool over the pin to be riveted, make sure riveting tip
(15) is withdrawn 2mm into the alignment bolt and tighten the alignment bolt
securely against chain.
4.2.7. Tighten the push (extractor) bolt so that the riveting tip (15) flares
