Do I have to cut my old chain in order to put my new gold chain on? (I am out changing the sprockets right now)

Thanks

 

Yes you do or find the mater link and drill out the rivet.

here is 1 example of the type of tool needed!

 

Ok, that is what I was thinking I had to do. Next question is, for those of you without a impact gun how did you remove the sprocket nut to change out the front sprocket? I have just spent an hour with a breaker bar and that damn little nut, and it has won.[:@]

Thanks

 

I will only sugest this with caution you may need more leverage. Get a section of pipe, and put it over the breaker bar apply force. Remember a breaker bar will snap a 3/8" bolt like it's cool. First make sure you are follwing the book. I did a little c/p from that section.
After reading the section I see that that nut is torqued to 92ftl-bs! You may need a pipe.
