Airdyne Chain Replacement with Master link
This
video will demonstrate
how to replace the
chain with
master link on a
Schwinn Airdyne.
- First remove the cotter pin and clevis pin from the user's right handlebar. Then lower the connecting arm and handlebar.
Caution: be sure to hold the handlebar as it will come loose after removal of the above parts.
- Remove the connecting arm and pedal and crank arm by removing the wedge pin. To simplify this process loosen the nut and tap on it with a small hammer until the pin is loosened.
- Remove the nut, wedge pin, crank arm and connecting arm.
- Next remove the chain guard; there are three screws attaching it as shown in the video.
- Remove the chain by locating the master link. Remove the lock pin and the cover, and then disconnect the chain.
- Place the new chain on the sprockets as shown in the video.
- Install the master link, cover and lock.
- Re-install the chain guard and attaching screws.
- Re-assemble the connecting arm to the handlebar and eccentric.
- Be sure the brass bushing is installed in the front inner side of the connecting arm before installing the clevis pin and cotter pin.
- Install the crank arm with pedal.
Be sure when completing this step that the crank arm is installed in the opposite position as the users left side crank arm.
- Install the nut onto the wedge pin and tighten.
- This completes the procedure.
