Anyone know how to remove the stupid little tensioner arms that hold the nylon chain slider blocks ? I busted one putting a slide block on.. It's the arm on the opposite side of the chain from the spring. Not the arm the spring is attached To... Right now it's just sitting there and it looks like it doesn't matter much.. but my fear is if I steer & the chain pulls tight, if that arm spins around and binds into the chain I'm screwed.
kinda confused here... but the whole chain tensioning thing works like this. there is a big pin that has the two lower and upper arms attached to it,there is then a spring on the pin that gives it movement if it needs to move.then it slides through the frame through a hole and into a shallow hole for the end to go in and then a pin does through the pin and the frame.

scroll through the manual and you will see how it works or even better i just thought of this look in your operators manual since you find it hard reading stuff on these old computers
the pins through the arms are held in with cotter pins.i went through the same thing as you with my '96 conquest.i ended up buying the repair kits with all the parts to change out the whole assembly.
Ahh haa ! I couldnt see the damn cotter pin in all the build up of grease.. Thanks
