Hi I've not used one of these chains before but you should have a soft link in the kit. I use a grinder to remove the old chain and a lump hammer and a nut hammer (ball end hammer) and a ordinary hammer. Get a mate to help you as follows. put new chain on place the lump hammer behind the soft link making sure it's tight against the link, using the nut hammer place the ball end over one of the pins and give it a wack with the ordinary hammer then the other pin do this till they are bevelled over. Or go out and buy a heavy duty chain splitter, normal about £40 +
