How?
Should I get a power wrench? If so, which power wrench?
Is there some trick?
I tried the trick of pitting a wooden splint between the spokes to lock the wheel, but now I slightly bent a spoke...
Please help!
Update
- spoke notnbent after all
- I realised afterwards that the master link I had was not a rivet type. It was a clip type. This made the riviting impossible and resulted in the broken tool. To be honest I thought all master links were rivet type.
- I grinded the rivited master link off and replaced with a clip type with much ease.
Lessons learnt:
- Removing the sprocket was most of the effort, but putting the tyre lever into sprocket teeth helped a lot.
- know what link type you have, it should go on easilly.
I received a lot of flak on this thread, but I managed to fit the sprockets and chain myself and paid my school fees. When I need to change a chain on the road I'll be glad for this experience.
Thanks for all the feedback.
