2024 Pin Installation/Removal Tools

The Madrone punch tools allow you to punch the pins more easily, effectively giving you an extra hand so you can hold the derailleur in alignment while punching.

You will need to provide your own 5/32" (or 4mm) punch. We recommend one with a flat tip and long length. These are easy to find online or at your local hardware store.

We recommend to watch our assembly guide videos for tips and tricks with this tool. In general, we recommend:

  • Use this on a very solid work surface, such as a thick bench, vice, or even a block of wood on the floor if you don't have something better.
  • Make sure both ends of the pin are centered in the tools.
  • Hammer once, then re-check that the tool is centered.
  • Use good lighting so you can clearly see.

The large spacer support is often used for removing pins. The head of the pin fits inside it. The small spacer support is often used for installing pins. It fits inside the bushing hole in the links, and the 4mm pin will fit inside the spacer support.

You don't necessarily need to use the vertical support arms. You can also install or remove pins using just the bases of the punch tools.

 

2024 AXS Torsion Spring Clamp

The torsion spring for the AXS links is extremely difficult to re-install if you take it out. This is why Madrone developed a tool that clamps the body of the spring, allows you to pre-load the spring, hold the lower link, and easily install them to the clutch housing. Note: This tool only works with Madrone links (not the stock SRAM links).

2024 AXS Link Holding Tool

The link holding tool is used the hold the lower link in the correct position when assembly the 2 halves of the derailleur together, making it easier to place the servo arm into the lower link and then seat the end of the spring into it.

Snap Ring Tools

You will need the right snap ring tool for your rebuild. This page has more information.

    Bushing Removal Tool (Cable Actuated Derailleurs Only)

    The SRAM cable actuated derailleurs (X01 and XX1) have bushings that have to be removed from the links before the links can come off the derailleur. The bushing removal tool helps remove the press-fit bushings from the links. The threads of the tool bite into the inside diameter of the bushing, allowing you to pry them out.

    Please do not force the SRAM links off the derailleur without removing the bushings first, or you will damage parts you will need for your rebuild. Note: The Madrone links and bushings do not require using this tool, and neither do the stock SRAM GX links and bushings.
