now how do i use it, i only found a HOW TO video on a different kind of chain "breaker" that just removes the hinges without destroying anything. did i buy the wrong tool?
The instructions are on the back of the cardboard that the tool came on. But I assume you didn't get that or you wouldn't be asking. The bar that goes into the jaw will open the jaws when pushed down. Put the chain in the open jaws being sure that the link pin is lined up with the part that pushes out the pin. Close the jaws by releasing that bar you pushed down. Then all you have to do is turn the other bar to push out the pin.
I have the exact tool and it is actually made for motorcycle chains. A much bigger chain. But for us it is VERY heavy duty and it works great!
BTW, if ya remove the link pin driver, it also serves quite well as a mini-puller - like removing the clutch arm from it's splined shaft (to turn it in a spline or two to help prevent catching on the ol' pantleg)
i go to college full time and work part time, and devoted too much to this thing already, going to have an acquantance mechanic figure things out for me and make sure my carb is tuned, though i think i did an alright job. thanks guy anyways though.
