I bought a motion pro chain breaker, and it broke the first time I used it! Now I just gring the rivets off till both are clean and smooth- maybe a little extra. Stick a screwdriver in between and pop the outer plate off. Takes no time at all. Chain breakers and pins are a waste of money. A good rivet spreader tool is worth it's weight in gold!!!!

Do you do this on a cam chain as well ?

Just cut the chain! That is if you are replacing the chain & sprockets.

I think I'll make about 30 of them. This is just the pin to press the pins apart. I can make riveters as well...but this is just the pin that everyone breaks.
I'll look at number's in the morning and have a price. I'm thinking about $20. There is quite a bit of work involved

Jim, did you ever make a riveter for this as well ? Yeah the Motion Pro one I have is bent. Imagine that !

Barney we're not always replacing things. Not always ! But I get your point as well. I just used a grinder to grind the master link all the way off. Now that took a little time but it did work. Just a challenge holding a bench grinder sideways !

Yes, I made 20 pins for the 530 press. Tool steel and heat treated.
