Question

How do i remove chain links without useing a chain breaker?

Answer 1

I agree, don't even try to do it unless you want to trash the old chain and replace it then in that case use a hack saw and cut it off or if you want to save the chain go to your local bike shop and buy a cheap chain tool (check Walmart They may have them)

Answer 2

Don't do that if you plan on using the chain again. If you remove chain links without a chain tool, like smacking the pins with a hammer and nail, you are very likely to damage the chain. You certainly can't reassemble the chain without the proper tool.

Well, at least I can't. That's why I bought a really cheap chain tool! I got this gizmo on sale for $13 at Performance that had all the hex wrenches, s***w drivers, spoke tool, and chain tool all in a really small package: http://www.performancebike.com/shop/prof...
