Thank you! So many nice tips here. That's the difference between experience and reading instructions. I tried this for the first time today, using the same tools, and I noticed the pins were pushing out a bit on the inside of the chain, for the very reasons you explain here. Fortunately I stopped and came to search. Reversing the plate is exactly what I need to do. "You don't pry anything unless you have to." How many problems could be avoided if that adage was adhered to.
Very helpful, thank you! I stumbled upon this trying to figure out if there was a trick to getting the master link back on or if I'm just WAY weaker than the general public...tool ordered :)
I've never done this before. Spent about 30 minutes trying to coax that clip on with a flat head screwdriver. The pliers on the pin worked the first time. I feel like an idiot.
Do your self a favor and get the motion pro master link press. Best thing ever for master links. Pres off, press on. No juggling a bunch of plates and screws.

Yep. As per Jeff's video. if you have it going the other way, there is the chance that it could come off during riding if it catches. Less of a chance with this the closed end leading towards the chain direction.
You can just use some pliers to sit the plate in place or you can get a mate with a piece of wood to hold it on the other side and hit it with a small socket that fits over the pins

After I chased the clip around the garage 10 times, pinched my fingers, lost an o-ring and bent the plate, this worked well for me .
Pro tip wrap a rag over the clip for removal so it only flys into the rag 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Glad it helped!
Thank you for explaining it properly. Saved me a headache with my fz6 😆
Great video as usual. Clear and simple!! Thx
Glad to help!
Nice job explaining a very simple task. I too, have seen so many people do this wrong.
Great video simple easy not alot yak yak like other guys Thank You Mr Slavin such a good video
Thanks 👍
great video, really helpful. Ive always had belts or shaft drive so chains are new to me.
i was just about ready to get the welder and tack the bastard together. cheers

it works just as good with a flat head screwdriver
thank you for the video. i had no idea of the press fit type clip. thought they were all loose.
I have one like this also, more work getting it on and off, I’ll probably change to the loose kind.
thanks a bunch for this, really helpful video!
Helped me out, thank you!
Thank you so much, great video

use adjustable pliers instead of that special press tool.
I prefer the correct tool although hacks often work.
Thank you!
What’s the website to buy these tools ?
There is a link directly above your question.
what tool did you use to secure the plate?
Not sure what you are referring to that is not in the video.
Idk what to do. There is no space to put the master link back on this chain I just bought.
Sorry, not much I can do to help via You Tube. You need local help.
No space? Wrong master link or too short of a chain?
does it matter in wat direction you put the clip
Yep. As per Jeff's video. if you have it going the other way, there is the chance that it could come off during riding if it catches. Less of a chance with this the closed end leading towards the chain direction.
Open end to the rear, always. Have had half dozen guys stranded by doing it the other way.
is it just me, or is there no sound?
+Roger Michaud (CrankShade) Sound works on this end.
+Jeff Slavens strange, all other videos are playing normally.
thanks for the video
nice
I crunch mine with channel locks
good tips
Amen!
Is this a 530 O ring chain?
520 o ring. 530 is physically taller
It didn't help me at all because I couldn't see everything you were doing
The guy at the dirtbike place didn't say anything about a special tool. Ffs
brent s one pair adjustable jaw pliers, one set needle nose, 1 flat head screwdriver. No special tools needed.
