if it is the same as the 400 then you loosedn the pich bolt which is about a 17 size bolt at the back end of the swing arm. then the tool which comes with the toolkit, looks like a C shaped spanner. connects in behind the chain turning clockwise to tighten chain & anti clockwise to loosen. if i remember right. tighten the pinch bolt when done & bob is your aunty??
