Remove a link or two -----maybe the sprockets are worn or were changed along the way by the P.O. if you bought it used

Dang. To my eye it would appear you are going to need to remove about 4 links. Grind the end of the pins off and pop the plate loose with a flat tip screw driver. Then pop your master link in adjust the tension and your good to go.

I have never had luck with chain breakers. The grinder wheel takes about 5 minutes longer but works everytime. I dont know if i buy to high quality of chains or what? But they always end up falling apart on the second attempt.
