I cant seem to get mine tight enough to slide the clip on.Any ideas

 

chain press tool by motion pro. or make one.

 

Try clamping it together with vise grips.

 

Chain press tool that Bus is talking about is the best $20 or $30 you will ever spend!

 

the one I have is the small press in this link. the fourth pic down. on the right. $24.90 got it at the local yamy shop for $19.99 allthough a complete kit would be nice to have.

 

Thanks guys should have an early day at work tommorow.Ill go check out the
parts dealer by me.

 

Needle nose vise grips work really well[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Get a 10 MM nut and place it between the pins on your master link clamp it down with a pair of vice grips let it sit for a few minutes and the clip will slide on very easy.

Hope this helps.

 

Mini Chain Breaker & Mini Chain Press Tool.
The 08-0001 is for 420 to 630 chain. It will push the link pin completely through the link. The handle folds away for easy storage and the replaceable pin (08-0002) is heat treated for strength and wear resistance.
08-0001: $27.10 for the set from Motion Pro.

 

I have used a small C-Clamp for years, works as well as many other ideas I have seen. Best tool I ever found in a parking lot...
