un-link and link a chain !!!!!!!!!!!!
how and what tools to use for taking a chain on/off ???
can anyone show some pics of tools and/or how they did it ? thanks...... |
I used a grinder to take off my old chain. then I used a hammer, punch, and something soild to bur the new chains master link.
The proper way to do it is use a tool like this : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/35-52...3A1|240%3A1318 and this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHAIN...3A1|240%3A1318 They're cheaper ones to be found. |
wow.... its a bit pricey, there has to be some cheaper tools right?
is there gonna be 2 different tools for breaking off a chain and installing one? or is it gonna be the same tool ? thanks. |

Hit up your local auto parts store or bike shop.
They should sell some tools, or even possibly rent them, which will save you some cheddar in the end. |
hacksaw works too, slower but more precise. (i used a grinder myself)
once you get the old chain off and the new one on with the new master, you can use all kinds of impact-able tools to flare the rivets. the rivet tool obviously makes this safe and easy, but if you only have a ball-peen hammer and a 2x4, so be it! if you google 'motorcycle master rivet' you'll get all kinds of details I just finished mine a few weeks back http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g..._IMG_2456s.jpg |
so all your doing is placing the chain tool on the master link and turning it down till when? u hear a click and that means the links are connected?
