While attempting to install my new chain yesterday, I had a bit of bad luck.
I'm using a brand new $90 motion-pro tool set. Which has TERRIBLE instructions, by the way.
I tried breaking the chain with the tool, and wound up breaking the tool tip. So, I wound up just dremeling thru a side plate to get it off.
Then, when attempting to rivet on the new link... the rivet tool tip breaks. Suck.
So now I have this rivet on my chain, which seems pretty sturdy (I can't pry off the side plate), but the ends are not flared. And a $90 tool that did absolutely nothing for me.
Any ideas on other ways to get that rivet on? Would a c-clamp of some sort work?
Anyone have experience with motion-pro customer service? I'd like to get replacement parts so I can sell this piece of junk...
