How to REMOVE A BIKE CHAIN without special tools (don't do this to your triathlon bike) 

cool. Can I reuse the same chain? Minus one link. But that would require me to somehow pop the pin out without damage, then reinstalling the same pin, again.. "if it's undamaged" (which I don't see how it would be possible?). Or........... Am I looking into this issue too much and should probably just drill it out and buy a "master link" or just a whole new chain? LoL. I see how my question could be considered simple minded But, it's late and I'd love to have this thing moving by the AM for my kiddo. I'm in an area where things aren't necessarily "close by". Thanks in advance, if you get to my question, even with you reply being over or nearly 4 years ago.

I feel your pain. It was right about this time I remembered I owned a Dremel with a cutting bit and cut it in half in about 23 seconds

I thought that too

Chains can stretch? Can you explain

@@Mazdatree Any metal that is ductile will stretch upon application of force...

@@yatharthchaturvedi2874 well yeah, but I didn't think my bike chain would strech

yea;) who needs a special tool for master link removal; (

ya mine doesn't have a master link

You can do it like what he did

Then sand down one of the pins just enough to get the bur off of the pin tsp the pin out and you can rebur the pin when you tap it back in that's what I just did

@@unclepush2895 help

he never posted it in the comments

PUSSY

At least pull the fur off!

Man. You must have eyes like a Begal or an eagle. Mr.Clean

Ernest ONeill bruh it’s so obvious, you can easily see it🤦🏼‍♂️

No one cares

Ernest ONeill your mad 🤡🤡🤡

That must be my issue. I thought I'd gained or lost an extra chromosome. Or maybe was in need of a pair of glasses at the very least. I spun that chain around several different times... VERY SLOWLY like an idiot. I think you've answered my question here. Thank you sir. I am thoroughly frustrated at the moment. I see your comment is from 4 years ago. But maybe I'll get lucky and you'll see my other questions that's now come in to play here. If I want to re-use the chain.. is it possible to pop a pin out and then pop it back together? I'm assuming that would be a no... or.. I would need that tool, whatever it's called, to do so. ??? Thanks in advance, if you do get to my question here.

Thank you.

Oooh! Might have to! lol

Yeah lol

yeah. the level of acid combined with the carbonation reomves dirt it work great on toilets too

Immer Chriswell Wait really

@@3IsTheName it does work ive done it before

What if you don't have a dog, where do you get the hair

Looks like fiberglass

because we talk simpler and smarter america= big brain

It’s polite

Lee's Bikes big brain ? U see what’s happening there now yeh ?...

@@michaelpittner2019 U? You see whats happening there now? Also why is there two spaces between happening and there?

@@michaelpittner2019 Yeh is not a word. Don't you know that if there is a red squiggle under a word it isn't a word you idiot.

No it doesn't

I do have them, but just showing people you don't need special equipment -- and this can work when you are in a pinch.

Triathlon Taren, before i had the special pliers, I have to admit to cutting the chain with a hacksaw. You removed that KMC universal link? fairly easily. Other quick links, e.g. SRAM or standard KMC can be more difficult. I reluctantly bought the pliers, but it’s very easy using those.

I was looking to see if someone said summit about the hairs haha

Yeah its his RU-vid channel go watch another video then chap

I tried that.at night the bike gets cold and attracts moisture. Then rust forms.

Ysp

Read the fucking title!!! Fuck.

The whole point is that you don't NEED one!

The point is that you can fix your bike chain without needing any tools -- not everyone wants to order one.

Lol ikr
