how to remove chain without cutting? what tool to remove swingarm 06 gsxr

[yohuallin]

i was wondering how could i remove the chain without cutting, some ppl say that might as well cut it and replace it, but my chain is good and im broke, also i see that to remove the swing arm the is a special nut, looks like it would required a socket like this http://www.suzukipitstop.com/ItemImages/09940-14940-T.jpg

any info on where to find that, and about the chain

use cutoff tool with abrasive disc to cut the head off one of the rivets. Use chain press tool, to press link out. order new link and press then rivet it back in.

this is the best way to do it.

or you can make your own lock nut sockets from a regular 6-12 point socket


use cutoff tool with abrasive disc to cut off heads of one of hte rivets. Use chain press tool, to press link out. order new link and rivet it back in.

cut it and replace the link. Taking off a swingarm is a lot of work to save a chain, though it does give you the chance to regrease and check the bearings.

Thats true, but if really, cutting the master link and putting a new one doesn't take that long.

He's replacing a broken frame, so the swingarm has to come off anyway. And if you're removing the swingarm, you don't need to cut the chain, just pull it with the swingarm... right?
