How to replace chain?
 
I am taking my GSXR apart for polishing/painting and the only thing I got stuck on was the chain. I have the GSXR100 so I have to brake the link to get if off the swingarm.

My question:
1. how do you brake the link on the chain.
2. if any special tools are involved what are they and would they be something that AutoZone rents?

Cut the link with a dremel(sp).
Press the new link on with a chain tool... but not too toght!

I have a dremel & chain tool if you need help.

So grind the pin that has fat ends on both sides of the chain?

Also, is there just an individual pin that I can buy for reinstalling the same chain?
