I am trying to loosen my chain because it is deadly tight, I loosend the allen head bolts, and trying to push forward with an allen head on the 3 notchs next to the cahin, they are not budging at all!! please help soon

Try something bigger to pry with. Maybe wiggle it back and forth. Make sure the bolts are loose enough.

Sledge hammer. :devil:

make sure your allen bolts are really loose, don't just loosen them a quarter turn.

If the whole ordeal is a really big pain, then it might indicate that you need to replace some components, or at least rebuild it and grease it properly.

thanks for your help, only wish I had it earlier, it need wd-40 and a bigger lever and my foot:p

As soon as you get a chance it might be a good idea to remove the axle and carrier and clean everything out. Maybe even replace the bearings and seals if they have alot of time on them.

I just used wd-40 and stood on the allen key til it moved

Use an allen head or some kind of pry bar and run it between the sprocket holder thingy(forget what it's called)and roll the machine forwards or backwards.But I agree you should definatley take the axle carrier out and inspect the bearings and apply anti sieze compound to the carrier before you install it.
