S90: Chain Adjustment

Couldn't quite wrestle the master link off the chain and decided to leave it for another day.  But at least I learned my way around the axle nut and axle adjusters.

At first I couldn't find the notches on the left side swing arm (you need to match marks on both sides so that the wheel is straight).  But turns out they were just under a lot of gunk.  A quick scrub with WD40 and a wire brush revealed them.


This is actually the right side markings, but you get the idea.


I also replaced the 6mm nut and washer on the adjuster bolt since they were a rusty wreck.  This picture is the entire assembly, though it doesn't show the shiny new hardware.


Rusty, soiled master link.  I'd pulled the clip halfway off already.
