I'm looking at replacing my chain and sprockets soon and I'm just wondering if this is the right chain breaker or do you recommend a better one? Cheers

It looks similar to my Motion Pro tool that I've always used.....but I can't tell if it has the same attachments (I hate eBay mobile). Pretty good price IMO.

I bought this exact breaker to replace my chain and it worked absolutely fine. If I remember right it didn't come with instructions, but YouTube has lots of videos on how to use generic chain breakers so you should be ok

Cheers

Is there any particular reason u need a proper chain breaker.If it's the original endless loop chain u only need an angle grinder.....if it's not u still only need an angle grinder (to cut the new chain length correctly)

I used a hacksaw

Even simpler.
Even a hole punch and hammer works perfect.

The tool also sets the rivets on a new chain. If using a clip link, it presses the link on properly.
You can never have too many tools.

A nut with a slightly wider diameter than the pin (with the help of pliers for force) also does the same thing.
If someone is going to work on chains on even a semi regular basis i would get a breaker....if not spend your money on some other toy the GS could use more regularly.

to note: i'm in the process of installing my chain............


used the hacksaw to get through the chain (which took a damn lot of effort, 15 continuous minutes of going at it at a strange angle) i have a clip style master link and i plan on just using my vise grips and nut trick to clamp it on together. ... i ran into a block because the front sprocket cover is 8mm and i only have down to a 10 atm. 

Just thought it would make it a lot easier. Was also going to use it to install the new rivet.
So next question: what do you think about these options for chain and sprocket. First is a set. 2nd is buy each individually.
