Btw *before* loosening the rear axel, just check the chain free play as I wrote and the alignment. I could just be a loose tightening bolt and that does not affect anything so long as the axel is tight and where it needs to be. In which case, tight the loose bolt by end and you are done. FYI those screws cannot come off, they have a stop at the end and they are one with the chain tensioner slide

About 1inch 1/2 of up/down movement midway is what you want. Torque of the rear axle nut should be about 70ft pound. Make sure the wheel is aligned, you can look at the markings to the side of the axel. A better way is to align front and rear wheel using a string. Google it if you like
