    Chain Help

    So I tried to search first but couldn't find anything so sorry if this is a repost. Very noob question here, I was trying to tighten my chain tonight and I can't even get the axle nut to loosen. Any tips,tricks etc. I'm 6'6" 240 so I was puttin some muscle behind it and nothin happened. I am hoping I'm an idiot and there is something I'm not doing right but it seems pretty straight forward.
    Help

    Heat tends to make nuts 'freeze'. You might need to take a breaker bar and give the nut driver a good kick. I have to do this on my ZZR.

    Yeah, breaker bar definitely helps. Glad you got things worked out.
