Screw, wear pad, shims, and spacer from the boom removed?

Screws from the wear pads removed using a pry bar under the shims of the side wear pads?

Warning: Proper adjustment of the chains at this interval minimizes the risk of chain failure which could cause extensive damage to other boom components and require extensive labor hours to repair

NOTE! If the chains make noise such as banging on the interior boom parts, or the chain slack identified below is more than the maximum acceptable value, adjustment is necessary
