Removing and Installing Links
1. To remove the links, the rivets holding the links
together must be removed. The following will show
one way this can be done. Use a right angle die
grinder with a ¼” ball double cut bur.
2. Insert the tool into the rolled over end of the rivet as
shown. Grind out the middle of the rivet until the
rolled over part of the rivet falls off. Repeat this step
for all rivets that must be removed.
3. After grinding, it is sometimes necessary to use a
center punch to punch out the rivet from the link.
