530-Chain work 101
hey guys, just won a new DID 530zvm x-ring chain for a great price on ebay. the seller said the chain will be shipped with a RIV link. i guess its some kind of master link D.I.D. uses and can only be put on with a special tool? i hope not. im used to those "V" shaped clips you tap on. anyone know of this DID chain master link? i thik its a side plate. also, my air cutter broke that i used to use for my chains, so now i got a dremel tool with cutter blades. ya think itll cut it?

well, i will use the wood technique. 2 questions:
1. will a dremel tool cut the chain?
2. dont i need to flatten the pin heads so that the "figure 8 " shaped end cap doesnt come off?
i know theyre stupid questions, but the weather is turning here for the better, and im too anxious to ride to wait for the tool comin in the mail, and too cheap to bring it somewhere! hehehe

utah,
the last one is the one i have. itll push the pin through cleanly, and flatten the rivet ends on the master link for ya. HOWEVER, i would get the one neil recommended too. the reason being is that mine is tough s nails, but i noticed it was a lil pain to get the NEW rivet plate set and ready to go for flattening the pins around it. i simply put my tool im between the rivets on master link and smashed the rivet plate down. slipped off a couple times, but whenit was close, i lined the tool up with rivets and flattened them. the tool NEIL suggested will smoosh the new master link plate on for you better. but you DONT really need it.
just my 2 bits.

yes, breaks- as in pushes pin out of chain. if you had a smal 3$ C-CLAMP from auto zone you could set the plate in place, then use the tool to finish the job off and flatten heads.
