- 1 How To Remove Chainring Bolts
The chainring bolts are typically located on the outside of the chainrings. There are usually four bolts, and they are often different sizes. The bolts are tightened in a crisscross pattern.
You will need a chainring bolt removal tool to remove the chainring bolts. This is a small tool that fits over the bolt and has a handle that you can turn. You will also need a wrench to hold the tool in place.
To remove the chainring bolts, start by turning the chainring bolt removal tool counterclockwise. As you turn the tool, the bolt will start to loosen. Continue turning the tool until the bolt is entirely loose.
Repeat this process for the other three bolts. Once all of the bolts are loose, you can remove the chainrings.
