Cormanus, whether you use a clip style master link or a staking type master link (staking type means the ends of the master link pins are mushroomed to prevent pulling thru the outer plate) you don't have to remove the swingarm to replace a chain that has 2 visible ends. For an endless chain from the factory with no visible ends, 1 big solid circle, the swingarm must be removed for installation.
