2025 Tools
For 2025, we've greatly improved the tools and procedures for using them!
Tools for AXS Missing Links
When you order the "tools included" option, you will get the tools shown here. Do not order the "no tools" option unless you already have these, because it will not be possible to rebuild the derailleur without them.
- AXS spring clamp tool (link holding tool is integrated)
- M4 press tool
- Small spacer press tool (also used to install retaining rings)
- Large spacer press tool
You will need a bench vise (that opens at least 5" wide) to use the press tools. This video shows how to use the press tools for installing/removing pins.
