I've got a chain tool that will split the old and connect the new if you'd like to borrow it??

that sounds about right, seems 'stupid o'clock' is the only time the army knows!

they promised the kit would be here tuesday so would it be okay to pick it up today/tomorrow and drop it back wed/thur?

[CBRowner]

angle grind it off....
lock tight on the output shaft sprocket retaining nut.
slightly chamfer the new link side plate so thet it locates onto the pins correctly...
massively lubricate the new rivet link.
push the side plate on with a 7 or 8 mm socket and a G clamp.
either use the ball bearing method and G clamp, or use a lump hammer behind the link and a ball pein hammer to form a mushroom head to the pins that are now poking through the side plate.
dont mushroom the pins too much, as this will make the link tight.

eeeeeeasy :-)

Am with JayDee.

All the tool does is mushroom the end over. The same can be achieved by hammer. (I use a punch for added accuacy.... a matter of taste!!)

Is simple as long as you take your time.
