I was expecting this to work with just manually spinning the pin out, so thats why I was askin in the first place.

Thanks
Is your chain rusted? It shouldn't be hard even with a totally dry chain.


Why are you taking off the chain to replace the wheel? Are you using a different size cog that won't let you tension the chain?
