Abstract
A tool is provided for connecting and disconnecting links of a conveyor chain. The tool includes a base, a chain guide plate mounted on the base for supporting a length of conveyor chain in a fixed position relative to the base, and a backup block carried on the base. A pin extraction/insertion block is positioned on the base with the chain guide plate positioned between the backup block and the pin extraction/insertion block. A ram is carried on the pin extraction/insertion block for extracting a pin from a position in aligned holes in adjacent links while the chain is held in its fixed position, and an insertion rod is carried on the pin extraction/insertion block for inserting a pin in aligned holes in adjacent links.
