    Peening a drive chain master

    AZR is stranded here in Portland, he needed an emergency chain replacement

    After calling around, we found an EK 630 x 96 that fits well, but has the master link that needs to be peened, rather than a clip

    We've been clamping and whacking the pins with no success. We lack the chain tool that does this

    Any suggestions?

    Will a local motorcycle shop loan you their tool with a large deposit as collateral?

        We ransacked my garage for some suitable tip, no luck

        Took it to the dealer, $14 and 15 minutes, Rob's test riding the bike as I type

          A ball pein hammer and a large piece of metal to back up the other side of the link while striking the rivet (post).
