justinity... Limited mechanical ability or not, you seem to need stuff spelled out for you, since you either don't read what people posted previously, or just ignore it, which is rude...

Or perhaps you simply don't understand it, which isn't rude, but at this point might imply that you have limited mental faculties as well?! If that's the case, let me know, I wouldn't want to bash on a mentally handicapped person... Otherwise start by reading what people post as response to your questions... This since I already answeared all the questions in the #5 post in is thread...

But, I'll spell it out... Again... See post #5...

If you do what is described you will be able to remove your old chain with it still as it is, ie riveted together, the same as your new chain... You will also be able to swap sprockets while he chain is off... Now, logic dictates that if you can remove the chain in one piece, you should also be able to put it back in one piece... (And before you ask... Yes, it applies to a new chain as well as the old...)

What was described in that other post was exactly the same as I described sans some useful tips to make it easier for you... Ie loosening the pivot bolt to rotate the footpeg, and the zip-tied clutch...

No, I did not write that you should zip-tie the clutch handle to the handlebar out of a misguided sense of humour, it really makes your life easier, ie if you like me dislike bleeding the clutch frequently... The reason is that with the handle in, no fluid can go anywhere in the system (the piston blocks all paths) and as long as you keep the slave up high (same height as the master) it's easy to just bolt it back...

The same goes for the footpeg, you could use a mallet, like in the other post, but isn't it easier to loosen the bolt? and then re-fasten it once you are done? It sure seems that way too me, but I cold very well be wrong...

Oh, btw... For those that will undoubtedly have issues with this post... Before you accuse me of being rude or unhelpful to the "poor newbies"... Read the whole head through, consider the sequence of events, and why I might possibly take issue with justinity's actions before you jump in guns blasing... And rest assured, I'm pretty much done helping any new people on this forum now, I get more enjoyment out of hitting my own thumb with a hammer...

As a stop-gap measure, instead of deleting my account, which I'm really and honestly tempted to do... I'm going to go to bed, so I won't be around to read the insults for the next 12 hours... Cya...

I feel you pain Marcus.... and I do feel that way myself at times.
This stuff isn't rocket science and it has been spelled out quite clearly in the previous posts.

As for hitting it with a mallet....... really
I mean you already have the proper tools, if you have the correct stuff to remove the rear wheel, so why not just do it the right way?
