Put the chain in up against the step on the left hand side. Make sure the pushing pin is lined up really well with the pin you want to take out. It will take quite a lot to start the pin moving but once it does it will go easily. If you stop pushing the pin just before it pops out on the floor you can use it to rejoin the chain if you need to.
Makes perfect sense to me, but I just wrote it so ask again if you don't.  ;)
Hope it works

Tried what you suggested and it popped out. I removed the black bolt on the left first to create the hole for the pin to go into and it slid out fairly easily.

Thanks for the help everyone, it took a lot of buggering about with it trying to work out which way up it went and which way it faced but after the help here it went through smoothly.

I should now have some pics up of my next build before the end of the weekend hopefully, if I can find the blue pedals.

Thanks all

Keep hold of the bolt you are suposed to wind it out so that you do not completely push the pins out otherwise that is a complete bugger to put back in !!! looking forward to seeing the build !!  :LolLolLolLol:

bof:
digital transfer is right, it is a stop.That stops a pin from being pushed all the way out. so you can reuse the link that you are splitting.

I use a hammer and nail. But i'm not all that bright.....   :uglystupid2:

SteveG:
Thats what the bolt is for, makes sense. I lent my splitter to someone and they broke the "teeth" so I never got a chance to find out what they did.
It's a good job someone knows how they work  ;)
