I wanted to some nunchaku that come with 7 link chains but I want to change them to 4. Some people say you break off the chain and use a adjustable link this spins to put the chain in but I want to 4 regular links not that. I've seen people on expert village that say you can do that how? Please someone make a video.

Hey.

In this case I'd completly replace the chain. Just buy one with tight gaps on each link.
You can open them easily with a screedriver or similiar when you fix them somewhere, like between a brick you kneel on and the ground.
Another way would be asking a friend to fix a link with a pipe wrench.

So basically the same thing you always know.
I don't get why not using this method, did it cause injuries to your hand?

If you've thoroughly read your "Changing my foam nunchaku chain links!" thread you might have solved this problem a week ago.

If that still doesn't help, rctrue made a ball bearing swivel maintenance video a while back.



That should help give you a picture on how to disassemble a pair. For chain shortening, I used a bolt cutter to clip off the excess links.

EDIT
Having a second look at the video I found that Rich doesn't separate his chain from his swivels. It pretty much works the same way from when he removes the bearing caps from his sticks, but like I said from your other thread, have your swivel sit on an elevated surface from the rest of the setup.
