    Chain tool needed

    I need a chain breaker tool to press on a master link. Or buy a cheaply priced GOOD tool.

    The bike's ready to ride but I need to press on the link and then get it flared (riveted).

    I'm SURE the "tool" makes it easier to do...
    BUT, You can also use a C-clamp. vise grips to prss it on and then use a ball-peen hammer to peen over the rivits....

    You suck at life. Why don't you quit?

    My dad told me I could be anything I wanted when I grew up. So I became an Asshole.

    Okay McGuyver I'm not usually............

    The 10", 6", "C" Clamps I have twist the chain. The master link rocks back and forth causing the "C" clamp end to shift because its a ball in socket positioning end.

    I even separated a wood corner (for making windows (90 degree) and cabinet corners) tool, in order to keep the chain flush against a flat edge but the space is limited with the wheel in there. The floors covered in sawdust and junk I want off the chain hence trying to do it on the rear sprocket/rim.

    With the bike on the center stand I'm bent over like a porn starlet trying to line things up. Just isn't working. 1300cc chain. The bike does 180 MPH plus so I'm looking to not goof anything up.

    -Suf Daddy the tool should be a 45 second attempt, hell, if I'm careful I could flare it too in about 10 minutes.
