I used a pipe flare tool and a plate to do mine. Some say you can use a plate and punch.

Get together with a couple of buddies and share the cost of purchasing the right tool

Same chain tool I have - works great!

The proper tool(s) makes all the difference!

Use the new EK screw press link.

Whatever you do just make sure you flare (rivet)the pin  to spec. To little of flarring on the pin and the pin may back out and not too  much will cause a fissure on your flared lip (rivet). When your done compressing the M/L measure the rivet head using a micrometer.

I used the $12.00 Motion Pro to install my EK530ZZZ.
After pressing the link on, I used a ball bearing the size of a bb. It rolled the rivet perfect. The chain I installed had plates to put into chain so you can't over press the rivet.
