Measure the correct length cable housing and cut it to length using your cable cutters.

Now it's time to install the cable housing and shifter cable.

Remember setting the limit screws does not affect how the derailleur indexes through the gears, only limits the derailleurs travel in either direction.

Line up the upper idler pulley on the derailleur with the lowest gear (biggest cog).

Turn the low limit screw clockwise to move the derailleur towards the smaller cogs and vice versa.

Make sure that the derailleur allows the chain to find its way into first gear with ease.

You will have to pedal the bike in the stand and push the derailleur manually into the lowest gear.

Use a 2mm allen key to adjust the limit screw.

Repeat the same process describedВ above to set the low limit screw.

Make sure that when released while continuously pedaling, the chain drops back in to the highest gear with ease. While pedaling the bike in a bike stand, push the derailleur in toward to the larger gears to shift the derailleur manually.

At this point, there is no cable tension on the derailleur as the cable and housing has not been attached.

Line up the idler pulley on the derailleur with the highestВ gear.

Turn the limit screw clockwise with a 2mm allen key to move the derailleur towards the bigger cogs and vice versa.

The high limit screw limits the derailleur when in its highest gear (smallest cog). You will see an H embossed next to the correct limit screw. These are here to limit the derailleur's maximum movement in either directionВ so that the chain does not get thrown off the cassette.

Now we need toВ adjust the high and low limit screws.

When installing a Shimano chain, make sure the engraving on the chain links face outward.

If you are installing a brand new chain, see our MTB How To: Installing A New ChainВ to make sure you set the correct chain length.

Using a 5mm allen key, mount the Shimano XT derailleur.

This will keep the threads from backing out and the derailleur coming loose from all the vibrations whenВ riding.

Double check that the new derailleur has some kind of thread locker on the threads.

If the derailleur hanger is damaged, the new derailleur will never shift like it should.

Make sure that the hanger is visibly straight, has no stress marks or nicks, and that the threads are not damaged.

Before installing the new derailleur, make sure the current derailleur hanger is in good shape.

This is a good time to replace the shifter cable and housing.

Using the chain quick link pliers, remove the chain. Even though this is a Shimano chain, it is using a 11 speed Sram Powerlock link for quick removal and install.

Before we get started with the new derailleur, remove the old oneВ and get it out of the way.

To get a closer look at what's inside a pro tool box, check out our Pro Tool Box Check. To install and set up a new rear derailleur, we are going to need a set of allen keys, a phillips screw driver, cable cutters, chain break tool or chain pliers, and a pair of pliers.

To get the job done right, we are going to need the right set of tools. Installing a derailleur from Sram or Box Components follows a very similar method. Here we are going to be installing a Shimano XT M8000 rear derailleur forВ a 1x11 drivetrain.
