Trying to remove the rear chains on my Argo Avenger 750 EFI. It looks like the clip on the master link is a closed end clip rather than an open end one … had to use a mirror to find it since it’s hard to see because it’s on the side of the chain next to the chassis. I know there must be a split in the clip but I can’t actually see it because of how hard it is to see it with the mirror and the grease on it. Will I need C-clip pliers or Split Ring pliers to remove it?

Hi I have an Avenger too and there is a split in one end of the clip. It is hard to see because of the grease and because the split closes up completely when the clip is on. I get them off by pushing the clip sideways, parallel to the length of the chain, with the tip of a screwdriver. Good luck. -
Thanks, Bob. With a closer inspection today, I saw the split. Didn’t see your post until I had the clip removed, though. I basically did what you suggested … but I used an old chisel that I sharpened to a pretty good point on my grinder. It didn’t slip off, though. It actually broke in two pieces. But that’s ok since I’ll be replacing the link and clip anyway. Now I just have to find the one on the chain on the other side. Working on Argos is a pain in the butt … aarrg!Comment

Your chisel idea is good. It would catch the edge of the clip better than a screwdriver.Comment
