    Chain Install

    I just got my chain and sprockets and i was wondering what tool i should buy....either the riveting tool or the press tool. It's a RK quick acceleration kit that comes with the chain and sprockets. I believe it can be installed either way. What do you guys suggest?

    The press simply makes fitting the master link's outside plate onto the pins easier. Use the rivet tool (assuminig you got a rivet-type master link) to peen over (spread out) the end of the pins to keep everything together.

    If you need a hand, let me know. I've already got the tools.
