    there is four bolts that hold the rear axel and hubs to the frame...loosen them and then tighten the little adjuster that is at the bottom left side its real easy

    you need to download a manual or earn enough $ to pay a mechanic
    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.

    i still dont see what the point in loosening the axle bolts is there is 2 on each side right? Why should I loosen the ones on the opposite side to the chain?
