Chain Splitting Advice Quick!!

[955sp3]

I'm in the process of fitting a new chain using a MOtion chain breaker type tool borrowed off a mate. Iver put the chain on, pushed the pins through, but cant figure out which bit to use to fold the ends of the pins over. any ideas - quick!!!

I use a hammer.
Sorry not much help

hammer, hmm. if you knew how clumsy I am with a hammer you would have never have suggested that. but, since its the only bit of advice anyones offered me.....

never heard of that make of breaker! should there be a sharp pointy that goes in place of the bit that pushes the plates on? not sure if it's on yours? but ones i have seen the point goes against the end of the pin and screwing it in splays out the end of the pin .

hope that helps a bit !!!!

Daft question, but why not ask the friend you borrowed it from, he must have used it before????

Damn.. you need to be a member to view the pics on the fireblade forum....

So....I had a look through the Chain manufacturers websites - Regina came up trumps:

Right on! Angle grinder, pin punch and hammer are the tools of choice for me.
