Chain

I was trying to press out a link on my chain and I broke the tool. I was told I had to grind the ouside of the pin down in order to let it press through. Also I need to figure out how to flair the one side of the new link being pressed on. Any suggestions please. Also do you think I could just use the maste link from my old chain and be ok. Could that be trusted. The chain is a 525

grind down both heads on the link flush with the outer plate.

then you can take a screw driver and pop off the outer plate.

the link should just slide out.

do not reuse a master link, get a new one, and get a rivet style master link.

Harbor freight had a chain tool for like $30 last time I was there, probably not the greatest quality but it may do the job.

$30?! The coupons in any motorcycle magazine has it routinely for like $7.99 or something like that. It looks pretty beefy to me and did the job with ease.

That's what the peg it was on said, those coupons are very generous sometimes. Got a $50 wheel chock for $24 with one of those coupons so it's possible you could find one for the chain tool for $7. As for how beefy it is, it felt pretty solid to me when I looked at it.
