A pair of needle-nose pliers, compress the master link plate,
use gas pliers to push on the retainer clip.(be sure there is a o-ring on both sides)
If the retainer clip does not have a 45 degree cut in the split end ,file one in it ..
no special tools required, be sure to put the closed end of the clip forward toward the direction of chain

There is no retainer clip on this style. It has pins that go through and get
spread out (like a rivet) to hold it in place.
use a ball bearing and a large C clamp..put the bearing in the indent on the pin,clamp it together,the end of the pin should spread/mushroom out..thats basiclly all the tool is,it has a peen attached instead of the ball bearing

Thanks, I will give this a try. I assume you mean a pretty small ball bearing.
I bought this one from motion pro. I've used it quite a few times on my dirt bikes.
I had seen this one on another site for $4.00 less. Not a big difference. Was about to order it, when I thought I would ask around first. I see they
also sell a Tusk brand for a lot less. Probably not near the quality.
