Fuck this shit, I just spent 3 hours and it didn’t even move one bit. I think I might need anger management therapy after trying this.
I feel your pain. It was right about this time I remembered I owned a Dremel with a cutting bit and cut it in half in about 23 seconds
01:52 is where it starts
thought i heard pumped up kicks in the background music
I thought that too
So no one is going to talk about how their is a whole bunch of hair on the chain and how he didn't even bother to wipe it off
At least pull the fur off!
Man. You must have eyes like a Begal or an eagle. Mr.Clean
Ernest ONeill bruh it’s so obvious, you can easily see it🤦🏼♂️
No one cares
Ernest ONeill your mad 🤡🤡🤡
Drill a 1/4" hole in a piece of 2x4, and align the ping to the hole, then punch it through. Works perfectly everytime.
cool. Can I reuse the same chain? Minus one link. But that would require me to somehow pop the pin out without damage, then reinstalling the same pin, again.. "if it's undamaged" (which I don't see how it would be possible?). Or........... Am I looking into this issue too much and should probably just drill it out and buy a "master link" or just a whole new chain?
LoL. I see how my question could be considered simple minded But, it's late and I'd love to have this thing moving by the AM for my kiddo. I'm in an area where things aren't necessarily "close by".
Thanks in advance, if you get to my question, even with you reply being over or nearly 4 years ago.
I call this lousy advice. How are you supposed to position your bike so you can bridge the chain over two solid objects with a gap in the middle (if the bike doesn't have a master link like my bike), which is impossible to do with the chain on the bike, and which you demonstrated with the chain OFF the bike? Duh! I call this utterly idiotic!
I need to replace the chain on my MTB, and being the cheap fook that i am im going to use this method.. There's no chance i'm going to spend 20€ for a tool im using once lol thanks for the tips
Wanna drop the old chain in coke and see if it gets all shiny?
Oooh! Might have to! lol
Yeah lol
yeah. the level of acid combined with the carbonation reomves dirt it work great on toilets too
Immer Chriswell Wait really
@@3IsTheName it does work ive done it before
I got a Topeak Chain Breaker Tool for $10. Works great. But I have to admit I have used a hammer & Punch before. Tip: Put chain link over the opening of a socket and hammer down into it 👍🏻
What if there is no master link?
yea;) who needs a special tool for master link removal; (
ya mine doesn't have a master link
You can do it like what he did
Then sand down one of the pins just enough to get the bur off of the pin tsp the pin out and you can rebur the pin when you tap it back in that's what I just did
@@unclepush2895 help
I feel all these other people's pain. It's been about 2 or 2 and 1/2 hours of messing with this shit before I went and got my Dremel and cut it off if about 23 seconds
'how to remove a bike chain without a special tool' seriously people. You need to read the title before watching videos and leaving comments 😂😂
i gave up trying this way and before i did i smashed the hell out of my fingers. im just saying its definitely worth the investment to get a cheap tool for this. ill find a link and post it in the comments. i got mine for like $10 or so.
he never posted it in the comments
PUSSY
I had a walmart chain breaker, damn thing didnt line up on the link right and i twisted so hard i sheared the screw off!
If you're buying a new chain, just cut the old one off, why spend all of this time to avoid destroying something you're throwing out anyways
Good tips for removing a chain without specialized tools. Remember to oil your chain regularly so this doesn't happen in the first place. Reduce, reuse, recycle. In that order. Oiling your chain will make it last much longer, which is better for the environment and for your wallet. You really shouldn't be replacing a chain until it has "stretched". The lubrication will also significantly reduce friction, which is good for racing.
Chains can stretch? Can you explain
@@Mazdatree Any metal that is ductile will stretch upon application of force...
@@yatharthchaturvedi2874 well yeah, but I didn't think my bike chain would strech
I like your video..but the dog or cat hair was driving me nuts.
Good lord, who works with a big old chunk of hair on their stuff?
Why do US how to videos always feel like they are explaining to kids?
because we talk simpler and smarter america= big brain
It’s polite
Lee's Bikes big brain ? U see what’s happening there now yeh ?...
@@michaelpittner2019 U? You see whats happening there now? Also why is there two spaces between happening and there?
@@michaelpittner2019 Yeh is not a word. Don't you know that if there is a red squiggle under a word it isn't a word you idiot.
That bike lock is more expensive than the whole bike
I see all these videos but mine won't hammer out
just so you know. the thing you peeled off was a quick release. you can use pliers to push the to ends together using pliers or by hand to release it
First time I'm seeing this video but my take away is this: great projects always involve dog hair.
What if you don't have a dog, where do you get the hair
Looks like fiberglass
Blue jeans, boots, & bike shirt... I like the way you roll! Thanks for the video.
How about a CLOSE UP fir the important parts, like removing the links and other bits , yknow, the whole point of the video ...
At 4:00 a burglar snuck into the house behind you...
Last day saw a local workshop guy place the chain over a small nut then just hammer to push the pin down.. further he placed a tiny steel ball and struck again.. to move the pin down further..
If u are taking it off just use an angle grinder with a cut off wheel if theres no master link
That must be my issue. I thought I'd gained or lost an extra chromosome. Or maybe was in need of a pair of glasses at the very least. I spun that chain around several different times... VERY SLOWLY like an idiot. I think you've answered my question here. Thank you sir. I am thoroughly frustrated at the moment.
I see your comment is from 4 years ago. But maybe I'll get lucky and you'll see my other questions that's now come in to play here. If I want to re-use the chain.. is it possible to pop a pin out and then pop it back together? I'm assuming that would be a no... or.. I would need that tool, whatever it's called, to do so. ???
Thanks in advance, if you do get to my question here.
I want to practice riding backwards... so I want to unchain the bike for easier practice... but I found a way to "disable" the chain without removing it... by cutting a tin can in half and fixing it around the smaller gears 😆
When you do a how to video, you really need to get a close-up on what you are doing so we understand “how to“ do it? Getting a far-off shot of taking that link off did not help anyone.
Or you just hook yourself up with a park tool mini brute. But yeah, KMC gold ti coated all day...and yes, I lost my mind!
nice technique to repalce a chain :D
Starts at 1:55
Thank you.
I took the master link off and now I have to wait for my dad to put the other part on he rides BMX a lot so he knows what to do
Thank you buddy it really help a lot .. I have a few bikes that I need to do that .. yes they are all outside 👍👍
20 to 30 dollara isnt cheap when you are in lower class. Cheap should be considered under 10 dollars
03:54 Missus walks in and wonders 'What on earth is he doing?'
I've looked everywhere.. On two different bikes. I can't find one!!! The link! I'm so frustrated! lol
Wait I'm confused, do non of you people use oil/greese for your chains? That thing rusted before it could wearout
I wonder if can I use a Motorbike Chain Breaker Splitter to split the bicycle chain as the Motorbike Chain Breaker Splitter look tougher than the bicycle chain splitter type ones?
Lousy vid. His hand was just blocking. What's the point of posting?
thats funny they always make video on how they do it but when i I look on mine and dont see any master link anywhere I got the bike for free how they trashed a bike have no clue but I got it FREE but it was rusted and thats why want to fix it but now stuck on the link back to square 1
Well I have a chain breaker, but it is too small for my chain, so screw those ppl =)
what if the rivets dont come out after being hammered
Bro you’re chatting too much.
Yeah its his UA-cam channel go watch another video then chap
It might help if we could see what you're doing instead of covering it with your hand
I don’t have a master link. What do I do if I don’t have one?
Anyone notice that he looks like the cricket player called David Warner and James Faulkner
Scrawny Warner
What's with the dog hair?
I was looking to see if someone said summit about the hairs haha
Your camera angles are really really bad for a tutorial. A lot of blind sides.
That looks like a very nice fun bike.
Blocks the view of the chain with his arm as he removes it...inept
If Bud Bundy and Seth Green had a kid..............
How does the back derailer go on the bike
What do if my chain dont have that thing to unconect
Saved a bunch of time by switching to cutters for unwanted chains decades ago.
Great vid. Good reference angles and informative.
Video too long for a “simple” problem
Not all chains have a master link
I’ll stick with the chain breaker. To remove a quick link, it can be very difficult without the special pliers. Buy the pliers!
I do have them, but just showing people you don't need special equipment -- and this can work when you are in a pinch.
Triathlon Taren, before i had the special pliers, I have to admit to cutting the chain with a hacksaw. You removed that KMC universal link? fairly easily. Other quick links, e.g. SRAM or standard KMC can be more difficult. I reluctantly bought the pliers, but it’s very easy using those.
Could not find the chain link
3:55 wife home coming
That white hair shit made me mad
SUPER
The dog hair is killing me
That zipp rim though
My chain is 2 times as bad
Mines don't have those
does it have to be in the exact gear when you take it off?
No it doesn't
Never shows on camera what he does and even backs the camera away so you can't see what he's doing. 🤣🤣
I HAVE NO LINK!!!!
Title says no special tools, but you still needed a special link?
A little misleading.
And please clean that bike
Forget the two spanners. Get a block of wood, drill a 4 mm hole & use a drift, not a punch.
dude for this trouble, i'd just buy a new one. that's me. lol
sick brother. Will be getting into this... well... not now
Get a chain breaker 😱
Ysp
Read the fucking title!!! Fuck.
How did you do to put the golden part? I did that i cant make the golden part fix on the think. Super annoying!
The needed tools cost like €20, and then there is no need to “repair the new chain a little” after going after it with a hammer, lol!
I'm
😮😮😮😮
👎
he said no tools
Lol ikr
Seriously, did you intend to put your hand between the camera and what you were doing? Cuz you couldn't have done it any better if you were trying.
0:06. 8:44. What a difference.
really good vid. thank you.
oh how simple your road bikes are
i like you man you are just so aweseme
Why not put a bike cover over that bike to keep it safe and keep it from not getting rusty?
I tried that.at night the bike gets cold and attracts moisture. Then rust forms.
Thank you bro love the vid
I feel so bad 1:15...
Oh yar. Keep it up
Useles video
Mine is worser
its way easier to use a chain link tool lol there is a bunch of cheap ones to order on amazon.
The point is that you can fix your bike chain without needing any tools -- not everyone wants to order one.
thank you
It works
Brilliant hack brother, greatly appreciate the walk thru 👍🏻
Dog this video is perfect. Exactly what the everyday person needs to know to get the job done Ty so much man!
9 minutes and 45seconds into this and you still haven't gotten to the point
Doesn't matter. 90% of the comments are from idiots who didn't even read or comprehend the title of the video.
Helpful vid.
