Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Chain

Identify the master link on your bicycle chain, push the ends of the master link together and the link will disconnect, it may require a lot of force. If you have done this, skip step 2. If you cannot find one, your chain may not have one.
If you do not have a master link on your chain, use the chain breaker to separate any two links of the chain.

Step 3

Weave the chain thru the rear derailleur, make sure to guide the chain thru the rear chain guard.
It can be cramped, pulling down the derailleur can often be helpful.
