use a c-clamp and press it on. then put something steady behind it and use a hole punch to expand the pins. i always throw jb weld on cause im paranoid but its not needed. or you could go and by a master link with a clip. i assume your using one with a press fit master.

I dont know what my problem is!!!
I tried the vice grips=No Go
Then i tried heating it, no go
Then i tried the c-clamp, and i cranked that mother so tight i bent the c-clamp... Im going to get a stronger one tomorow, but i dunno what im missing and screwing up very discouraging...
