NOTE: The MLP-1.2 does not work on traditional 2 and 3-piece master links (shown in the images) commonly found on single speed or 3-speed bicycles that use a single rear sprocket. These style of master links have the two pins attached on one side plate and use a side plate that clips on or a side plate and a spring clip to hold the opposite plate on. To remove this type of master link, use a needle nose pliers to slide the spring clip off, remove the outer plate and then remove the side with the two pins or remove the single side plate.
