Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I've found a 4'' grinder to be successful . Use a split link with your new chain .

I believe there is a youtube video floating around where a guy shows how to use a $15 chainbreaker from harbor freight tools as both a breaker and a riveter.
I've got a Motion Pro kit that seems to work well. (Local CrackList find...)
Whatever you do, DON'T abuse a chain tool by using it to press out the chain rivets. There's simply no point at all in risking the pin. Fastest is to cut the chain with a metal cutting wheel in a Dremel or angle grinder. Or, grind off the head of the rivet BEFORE you attack it with the chain tool.

I agree, removing it should use the shotgun method. Destroy the old one, whatever way you choose. Only the installation requires the surgeon's blade. I personally prefer the standard master link, but I have honed my install skills for several decades. The lazy person may prefer the rivet method.
