I use an angle grinder to flatten the pins flush to the link then punch them out, if you haven't got a proper punch use a nail smile.gif make sure it's a masonry nail else it will bend, which i learned through experience and whacking my hand with a hammer biggrin.gif

Now i know that sounds a bit of a bodge job way of splitting a chain but it works and it's what i have done to remove links for the past 3 or 4 chains I've owned biggrin.gif

I can just imagine engineers and like technical minded chaps cringing at my non typical way of splitting chain links biggrin.gif

Can't justify spending ££'s on something you use once in a blue moon.

Bit late I know but I have a chain breaker but not a riviter to close over the pin again.  If you are using a connector link doesn't matter. David
