I was told to cut the tip of the pin off with a grinder, and tap it out with aand center punch, I tried this but it didn't work. am i not hitting it hard enough, or what? or does that not work? i don't know, i've never done it before, and i'm trying to get my bike up and running today, I haven't even driven it yet

Ive never used a chain breaker, but from looking at one, and understanding how it works, the grinder method would appear to be more effective, so even if somebody GAVE me a chain breaker, Id probably continue with my present method.

Trikekids post, made me assume everybody on here used chain breakers, but I guess i was wrong. you know what they say "when you assume you make an @$$ out of...."

I only use a chain breaker on my racing kart chain which is 35 and we don't run master links. I've always used the grinder and a punch with ATV chain.

I have a chain breaker and use it once and a while. I also use the grind and punch method also. I pretty much only use the Chain Breaker when I want to re-use the link I am taking apart. They work wonders some times, other times they are a pain in the keester.
