I have never had a chain that needed pressed or riveted. I always had chains with clip style master links. The chain on my f4i needs replaced. So I'm going to need a 525 chain that's 108 links long.

1. If I can only find the chain I want in 110 links, I can use the chain breaker to make it 108 links correct?

2. As far as the tool itself goes, is there a difference between a chain press tool and a rivet tool?

3. If the tool isn't specifically labeled a chain press AND breaker, will it only perform the advertised function?

sorry, I feel like such a beginner asking this

 

1. You should be able to order a chain w/ 108 links. If not, yes, you can cut it w/ your chain tool.

2. I use the Stockton Tool Company Chain Breaker & Rivet Tool Kit. Got it from CycleGear - Cycle Gear - STOCKTON TOOL COMPANY: Chain Breaker and Rivet Tool Kit,. I've used in on many chains w/o any problems. The kit does it all. There's really no reason to look further. There are other chain tool kits like it by MotionPro, etc. But they are all basically the same kit. Its all you need.

Removing & installing chains isn't rocket-science. You can do it! Be sure to see Incognito's excellent How-To here... https://cbrforum.com/forum/how-mecha...et-swap-97641/ . I change mine almost the exact same way. Following these instructions will walk you right thru it.
