Remove the holder (a) from the tool.
Manually turn the bolt (g) until the punch (b) locates against the pin, taking care that they are aligned with each other.
Use wrenches (d) and (e) to turn the bolt clockwise until the punch (b) is seated against the chain plate.
To complete reassembly, repeat the entire procedure with the second pin.
Warning
Carefully check the two pins: the figure shows the correct result of the procedure.
