Hello All,
I've got a nice new sprocket for the ND model A on my Pierce and a replacement Diamond Chain. I need to put together a chain whip to remove the sprocket. But first I need to break the old chain to use a length for the whip. The chain currently on the bike has no master link and seems to be made up of sections from different manufactures. I've messed around with the conventional chain tool and of course broke off one of the guide teeth. I've tried the nail set/punch and hammer method on a number of the pins but I just end up bending plates and no sign of movement. Here are some shots of the old chain. This chain has old rivet style pins, no dimple in the pin for the chain tool to grab like a later chain. I'd hate to resort to a hacksaw and file that would destroy one of the links. There are 8 rollers missing and at one time I considered trying to drive each pin out and replace those rollers.
Has anyone used this type of tool on a chain with these rivet type heads? I saw a post somewhere that recommended this. https://www.amazon.com/Koch-7725010-Roller-Chain-Breaker/dp/B004HKIU4C.
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
