Tips on loosening the adjuster screw

408 Views 13 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  Axel Johansson
Do you have any tips on how to loosen this screw? Went to turn it for a while then it "locked". Tried to pull out the axle so far that I got a whole sleeve on but can't screw it on for fear of pulling too hard and it will come off.

DO not try to remove it. It is too late. I have already broken mine (same bike) and replaced with repair kit.
I'd recommend you to screw the bolt in, add some nut between the bolt and the adjuster, make your work, and remove the nut. By the time the nut will not work anymore, it's time to replace the chain.

The kit is good, but bolt is 13mm instead of 12 in original.

Look. Do not hurry. Spray a lot of wd40. Let it sit for days. Then try again to screw it in. Maybe this will work. And you can adjust the chain without those bolts, but it is a bit harder.

Yes. It is pretty universal. But - you need to drill a hole in your bike!
