Now this is the hard part. After using the chain grease that came in the box to grease the O-ring, then put the master link to connect the 2 ends of the chain, put another 2 O-ring in front, then put on the side plate. I used the Motion Pro chain tool to press the side plate on and this is very hard and delicate.

I measured the width of the other links with an electronic digital caliper and took note. It was 22.50 mm. I chose mm because it's more precise. This will be the width that I will set when pressing the side plate on and we don't want it to be too tight or too loose. Since I couldn't measure it with the tool on, so I had to press a little, remove the tool, measure, repeat until the measurement came out correct.

Also, I measured the diameter of the pins of the master link before I inserted it, they were 5.31 mm. The shop manual called for spreading the pin to 5.50-5.80 mm, so that the side plate won't come out when riding.
