Zorro Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm installing a new chain. I have no idea how to "crimp" the masterlink posts. I bought this cheap chain breaker...http://www.amazon.com/Bikemaster-Chain-Breaker/dp/B000GZN2XQbut it wont flatten/crimp the ends on the master link. Thoughts?Thanks in advance!

flounder Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 no need to buy a breaker.. just cut the damn thing off since you will never use that chain again. Shitty has a Motion Pro rivot tool that ive used in the past so you may want to touch base with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 no need to buy a breaker.. just cut the damn thing off since you will never use that chain again. Shitty has a Motion Pro rivot tool that ive used in the past so you may want to touch base with him.he's got the chain off, but needs the rivet tool.opie, I've heard of people using a c-clamp and a ball bearing to flare the rivet and then just the clamp to collapse it the rest of the way.Not necessarily the best solution, but it may work.Iron Pony may sell the tool too.

fox_racing_guy Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I have the RK chain tool, you can find them online for around $100, if you use the Motion Blow model be prepared to purchase replacement pins for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artmageddon Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Try a screw type master link if you can't get a hold of the tool, had one on my old bike, worked great. http://www.motorcycle-atv-chains.com/site/898526/product/mstr2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
