Default Chain Woes

fishslab is correct...usually you do have to loosen the caliper bolts also in order to free up the axle housing. mine turned pretty easily once I loosened all four bolts. I bought a very large pair of channel lock pliers just for this purpose. Also, if your behind the machine put the pliers on the housing once you've loosened all four bolts and twist up to tighten the chain. If you twist down you'll most likely loosen the chain even more. I learned that part the hard way. LOL!!!

you need to put a small phillips screwdriver through the sprocket hub and into the axle housing,the hole in the axle housing is lined up with the grease zerk.once all 4 bolts are loose and the screwdriver is slide into the housing roll the machine forward or backward to get the chain set where you need it..
