NEED HELP BIG PROBLEM!!!!400ex chain

[TCracin440ex]

my 400ex chain came off last night when i was riddin and the chain got pinched between the countershaft sprocket, and the rubber swing arm piece....i cant get it off and i have no idea how...i tried everything im kinda sleepy and pissed off so i didnt want to keep messin with it cuz i woulda busted the damn thing up so help

The same exact thing happened to me!!
It might take 3 people to get it out.
You sit on the quad, letting the clutch out slowly in first gear while one person takes a chisel and a hammer and tries to tap it up back through, and have another person pull on the rest of the chain from the back.
It may take a while but it'll work.

Hope this helps. :D

if it's not a stock chain see if ya can get to the master link n take her apart, when all else fails, use powertools :devil:

Just pull the pivot bolt and move the swingarm back and voila, it is free.

I've pulled mine a few times. While not being the easiest thing too do, it is alot easier than what they have planned.

happend to me once or twice before...i would deff. pull out that big ol' swinger pivot bolt, not the easiest thing to do, but its a sure fix
