If I could find the s@dd!ng thing you'd be very welcome .... I need to change my own chain and this is what's stopping me!

Pop down when you're passing and you can borrow mine, but if it's just breaking then won't an angle grinder/dremel do the job as well as/better? I needed it to break my chain even with the breaker, didn't trust it not to snap without taking off some of the rivet first, in fact I think I bought the breaker after grinding the pins to split the link

With Firestarter on this one - grind off the old one then rivit new link with ball pein hammer whilst a mate holds something solid behind to hit against (lump hammer or similar).

The new link just has to be sufficiently 'mushroomed' to stop it coming off - too much and the link will be stiff.
