    sorry yes it a single sided arm,that tool looks ideal long enough to give leverage,think my chains a tad tight only about 20/25 mm slack came like this from dealer.

    get two people to sit on your bike and press down a bit more. see if you got any slack. I bet at 25mm it will be like a bow string.
    Then set your slack. it will probably be you'll need at least 30-35mm.
    remember you will do less damage with a slack chain than a tight chain.
