|---|
| | [* icon_note] Be careful not to push the pin all the way out, as this will make it very difficult to re-assemble the chain once you're done cleaning. |

| | [* black] Separate the two links that were joined by that pin once the chain pin is pushed out of the inner link (but not out of the outer link). |
