How it helps you
This tool simplifies routine chain service by letting you press off and on the master link plate without disassembling components or risking misalignment. The 24.8 mm maximum master link width and up to 5.25 mm roller pin clearance cover most standard 520/525/530 chains, providing a fast, repeatable process for enthusiasts and professional technicians alike. Note: it’s not a tool for breaking rivet master links, and proper technique is essential to avoid chain damage or safety hazards.
How to use (summary)
- Disassembly: Remove the master link clip and place the chain into the press’s “Press Off” side. Use a 6 mm hex wrench to turn the screws evenly until the link separates.
- Cleaning & Lubrication: Clean parts and lubricate master link pins (and O‑rings if present) before reassembly.
- Reassembly: Place the master link plate on the master link, then press the chain into the “Press On” side. Tighten screws in half‑turn increments to keep the plate even.
- Final Check: Ensure the clip is oriented correctly and fully seated without over‑tightening, which can damage O‑rings or cause binding.

Warnings / Reminders
Not for use in breaking rivet master links. This tool should be operated by someone trained in servicing motorcycle chains and sprockets. Do not overtighten the master link plate, as over‑tightening can damage O‑rings, cause chain binding, and lead to chain failure which could result in serious injury. Ensure correct clip orientation: the closed end of the clip should face the direction of chain travel when moving forward. Please handle with care and follow all safety precautions.
