woah hold on
is it seized? it not moving back/up would lead me to believe so. if so you might need more than a new chain :eek2:

You don't need a new chain. The bearing carrier is just seized up in the swingarm, which is a common problem if you ride in a lot of mud/water. Try spraying some penetrating oil like PB blaster in there and let it soak for a couple days. Then give it a go again.

If it is still stuck in there, then you will probably have to break the stock chain and remove it. Then remove the axle and rear brake disc. Now you will have access to the side of the carrier so you can go to town with a big mallet/dead blow hammer. Pound the carrier out of the swingarm, clean up all the dirt and grit that was stuck in there, grease the outside of the carrier and inside the swingarm and reassemble. If it was a stock carrier you might consider upgrading to a twin row carrier while you have everything taken apart.

the chain should be fine, you should be able to turn it around for awile if its loose(slack), like said above ur carrier may be siezed, but i dought it, if you bent the screw driver.....dumb question but did you loosen the 4 allen key bolts?

you can replace the bearings. but if the bearings are in pieces and the carrier is all chewed up, buy a new carrier because the bearings wont last for s***

Nice. It was probably just seized up from dirt/grit in there like I said.
