How to Separate a Detachable AG Chain

Detachable AG chain, also known as agricultural chain, is commonly used on farm equipment. The ends of each link in the chain are made of roller bearing. The roller bearings ride on the sprocket. This reduces wear on the chain and sprocket, which maximizes the life of the equipment and reduces routine maintenance. When you need to remove an AG chain from a piece of equipment, you must separate a link in the chain.

  Pull both roller bearings off the link pins with the pliers and then pull the backside link plate off the adjacent chain links.
