Yeah browski, plenty of info in stickies on cam chain tensioner, but I'm tackling the legit chain tensioner... In the swing arm.. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think that is the case.

ah you mean the drive chain i got ya.
to replace them you have to remove the wheel, and then the axle.
then they slide out.

Well, if we wanted to split hairs here, you have to remove the axle first before you remove the rear wheel... lol. Then, strictly speaking, you don't even have to remove the rear wheel, the adjusters will just slide out with the axle removed. Just messin with ya Spicy...

nice one dirt.

while you are changing those adjusters, you might want to look into doing all the work you can back there, eg. change break pads, new tire, lube the axle.

I'll also lube the axle, haha.. Brake pads will come later and the rubber still has a few thousand left on it... Thanks for the input though!
