With the press on as it is it just needs a bit of a flare...it is easy to over do it and crack the pin.

It looks ok ,but ya cant tighten them tooooo much cuz the pins will break, ive done it b4.
Is that an O ring chain? You also need to make sure as it rolls over the sprockets that the master link doesnt bind, as long as it rolls smothly over the sprockets ya should be ok.

yes it rolls perfect and i measured 2-3-4-5 times

why is the gold worn ?

 

[ham4864]

the tool i used to press the link on is not really for pressing on links

Looks like mine. - I used a hammer and punch.

Do Like I did, paint it blue so you can keep track on it.

thats a good idea. when i did mine, it was silver so it stands out a bit from the gold on the rest of the links, but blue would stand out alot better.

i thought about that but i have to go get a small paint brush
