so, i tried searching, but couldnt really find any detailed instructions. can someone please tell me how to tighten my chain?? i feel real dumb, and i should def learn how to do this since it comes up so much. i just cleaned and lubed it today but its way too loose. its an 05 f4i. and no, i dont have an owners manual yet

also, pics would be a HUGE help cause its likely i wouldnt know what your were talking about if you used just part names...told you i was a master of this stupid question shiz. thanks alot guys, any help is much appreciated.

ok, so just to be clear, the directions on that link say to loosen the right rear axle nut, but not the left? so im only adjusting the bolt on the left side and the axle nut on the right?? i read somewhere that i need to adjust and loosen both sides? not true?


Step 3 - Loosen the rear right axle nut with the 27mm. DO NOT REMOVE THE NUT.

Step 4 - Once loose, go to the left side and use the 8mm socket on the adjusting bolt as shown on picture 2.

 

you have 1 axle nut

2 adjusters (1 on each side) you have to tighten/loosen.
