What i do sometimes is grind down the rivets and then take a wide flathead screwdriver and put it between the plate and link and just hammer at it. Takes like 4 minutes. You can do this while its still on the bike.

Well tour Dad’s method works well. If the chain is stuck Thru the bike frame, different story. Also, your example shows how easy it is to compromise the links next to the one being removed, so wishing you had emphasized this point. Please don’t take me wrong, I appreciate you for posting this. Happy riding.

Just did this for the first time. Instead of the flat metal use you smallest socket. It fits over the rivet but hits the edge of the link perfectly. 360 degrees of contact. Nail punch and 3 hits, out.

This is one of those jobs where you want to go easy with the grinder. Too much pressure and you can melt the two pieces together and make punching the rivet through more difficult. There have been times when I didn't have a nut for a screw so I pulled out my grinder and used it to melt the screw to the metal I was working on (don't use this on critical components obviously).

heres how to get it apart and reuse the thing... first get a hammer and a hammer and a small nail (not TOO small) then put the links in a vice and use the hammer and sail to hammer it apart. you can use the vice to compress them almost all the way then flip the chain over and use the hammer and nail to hammer it through the whole way... then your done!

Instead of punching the pins out, Put the chain on the sprocket get a old flat head screwdriver that has a smaller tip than the length of the pins and hit it with a hammer (after grinding the rivets off) will take less time its what we used to do in a motorcycle shop i used to work in its quite time effective
