Keith,

We use the 6051K15 which costs $17.63. It may seem a bit expensive compared to the bike chain breaker you have, but it is worth it. The spring-loaded jaws open to grip the roller just right. Then all you have to do is twist the handle and viola!

TIP: Don't keep twisting the handle once the rivet is loose. You can stretch out the sleeve and ruin the good link. Twist the handle until the punch point just fits within the sleeve that the rivet goes through.

The nice thing about the tool is that any student can use it, and they all seem pretty amazed how easy it is to use. As for replacing the pins, the best way to reconnect the chain is to use the master links supplied in the CDI kit. If you find that you have an odd number of links (it might be an even number, I can't recall), then you can use an "offset link", available at any ACE hardware. This is kind of like a 3 roller link, instead of a 2 roller link. Let me know if you need more info, maybe I can take some pictures.

-Jason
