chain adjuster

Hi Mick, do you know where it is seized? Which part? If you could give bike details model/year etc I will try to help you, OK?

I've just done a Google search for "Triumph Speed Triple 955i workshop manual" and done a free download of the official manual.

Just checked it and it includes the single sided swinger, so that might help.

When de-blocking anything I always start with plenty of 'PLus Gas' squirted in the offending part several times and allow to soak. Then whilst applying pressure give the part a sequence of firm but not shattering taps with a hammer. It will break loose.

Good luck

Just a thought, but, after much soaking with various penetrating fluid and slackening the pinch bolt, would firing the bike up, dropping it into gear and trying to move off with the front brake held firmly on (probably needing a certain amount of gentle clutch abuse ) perhaps shift it? Logically it sounds possible (well, it does to me, anyway), though you may know better! Just don't set off down the road with the pinch bolt loose!!!

Alternatively ... if at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!!

A Yorkshireman's Tweezer starts at a 5lb lump hammer (for intricate and delicate work) and gets bigger from there! Your choice!
