Master Link Question was created by Nevco48
I had to pony up big $$$ for a new rear sproket from Sproket Specialists since my bike has a Morris Mag.:dry: While I'm waiting for that, I took off the master link and lost the clip. The rubber O-rings got boogered up too, so I bought a new master link. Now I'm trying to put it on and I'm having trouble squeezing it all together enough to install the clip. How do you get all 4 of the rubber rings to ride up onto the barrels of the inner link without crushing them? Any special tricks that I'm missing? Thanks for any advice...

After reading the responses, I'm going to go back and creep some locktight under the clippy, and then paint over it with some contrast color.
I dn't have a chain breaker to squeeze the master link but I will try Vice grips or some little clamps or something.

Update: got it on OK. I lubed the O-rings and squoze it all together with some small C clamps. I put the original old cover link over the new one and torqued it down enough to allow the clip to pop on, no problem. I did the white paint trick on it too.
Now if it would just warm up a bit!
Thanks.
