Topic: timing chain removal???

[neckyzips]

hey,
how do i get the timing chain apart or off, there doesnt seem to be a master link... and the slots are two small in the top gear to slid the cam into enough to remove the cam... a little frustrated after 3 hrs of looking marking and fiddling?? also if anyone has the correct settings for a cb500 that would be awsome!
thanks joe

ok, never mind the how to, but the corect positining would be very helpfull, since the paint i used to mark the gear cam and chain, has now dissapeared.... oh well.
thanks joe

Go here and download your Service Manual.  It outlines how to position the cam in relation to TDC when you're doing the top-end.  The position of the chain of course doesn't matter (so long as it's on the sprocket!).
