Hilarious. There’s always the question, how many times do I expect to use this tool. In this case, not often. I usually like good tools. Fortunately for me, so does my wife.
Can anyone recommend a good quality kit that can flare sort links and stake the solid links? Only one I can seem to find is the motion pro PBR?
Quite a price differential for a box colour change…… https://www.halfords.com/tools/hand-tools/automotive-tools/chain-breaker-and-riveting-tool-set-656054.html?cm_mmc=Google+PLA-_-Motoring%3ETools%3EHand+Tools%3ESpecialist+Automotive+Tools-_-Motoring%3ETools%3EHand+Tools%3ESpecialist+Automotive+Tools-_-656054&_$ja=tsid:%7Ccid:17363835999%7Cagid:%7Ctid:%7Ccrid:%7Cnw:x%7Crnd:2945088966486142152%7Cdvc:c%7Cadp:%7Cmt:%7Cloc:9045487&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA0bWvBhBjEiwAtEsoW0CccJ-sF8FaZuR_UQHgjoPWOsQ2Ykk5dbKYIwpMqhOpdRLVPxM52xoCtlYQAvD_BwE https://www.diy.com/departments/mot...avy-duty-neilsen-ct2248-/5055282022481_BQ.prd
Or even cheaper... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/31508557...KrFZJ72Ixuo+Y6E8BcH/cUK5ZT|tkp:Bk9SR6rU0_rEYw
I replaced the chain and sprockets for the first time. I used the AfAM and a grinder. The AFAM have a YouTube video to show how easy it is , And it was . £15 , job done
This looks decent but can’t tell if it can be used to flare soft links https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16534794...Ffol94mQ5u&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
It does say riveter, https://international-tool.com/products/chain-splitter?_pos=1&_sid=229219e19&_ss=r. Andy
I have used this a couple of times, worked well. https://motorcyclepartswarehouse.co...tyle-chain-breaker-riveter-splitter-tool.html Just be carefull to measure the Dia of flared pin and not to over do it and squash the plate in too far. I went in too far and the x-ring popped out of the side of the link slightly. I was going to redo it but it seems to have settled back in. I thougth there was a stop meant you could not go too far but maybe the casting was a bit out. Maybe as other have said when removing chain grind link pin ends off then press pins out. Cheers Gaz
These are good bits of kit. And if you are eligible at the moment using coupon FRESH20 on Ebay will secure one for @£79
Seems like the right place to add... I once had a pin that I was flaring split and a small chunk flew off like it came out of a gun...it went past my right ear so fast I heard a whizzing noise...if it had gone in my eye I would have been in serious trouble. So make sure you wear safety glasses when flaring the pins!
I hit this kit after my old snapped, however that was due to me using it incorrectly when I was a kid. This one seems a lot beefier than my old one and did my chain on my RsV4 recently. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Breaker-Mo...B0BZV7S7GJ&psc=1&ref_=pd_basp_m_rpt_ba_s_1_sc
