That's right jackasses I'm back
And I'm here to shed light on nonsense
Here's what really happened. from the beginning-
I was trying to take the chain of my Kilo Stripper mainly because I didn't like the gold chain and also because I don't think it was ever properly lubed, so I was going to get a new black chain and put that **** on. My bike was taken apart and put into storage over the winter so my wheels were up in my closet. I never bothered with taking the chain off while the frame was stored in the corner of my room. So yes, while I said I was taking the chain off to put a wheel back on ( I didn't realize asking for help demanded a reason) the main reason was to get rid of the non-lubed gold chain. Why didn't I say this in the first place? Maybe I was trying to avoid jackass comments about "lol u care about looks brah?! i dun care whut society thinkz of me and muh skinny jeanz".
I bought a little 5$ Bell chain tool from Ace Hardware and thought I would just remove the chain and replace it easy peasy. When I went to take it off as I said before the tool wouldn't budge. I thought maybe there was a special master pin I was supposed to remove as I knew it wasn't going to be this hard. All I got was snarky jackass remarks and no real answer except jackass animated .gif's and jackass "LOL THIZ KID IZNT BIKE PRO WHUT A NUB COON!" remarks. So yeah, I did hit that **** with a hammer until it pushed the pin out. I thought my chain was just **** from not being lubed and that's why it was being so difficult.
Fast forward 5 days later after not checking back here to see more jackass comments I got a new chain. I try to break it to fit it to my bike and the same problem is occuring. At this point I rage, slam my head off the floor a few times, and howl at the moon. Then I realize something- this ****ty little chain tool I'm using is getting stuck when pressure gets on it. It also is getting stuck when I try to un-screw it when there shouldn't be any pressure or resistance...
FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU
I throw some lithium grease around the screwing part of the chain tool, give it another shot and it pushes out easy peasy.
Everything went better than expected!.
Chain is back on the bike, with the wheels on, and I am now a certified master bicycle mechanic.
TL;DR- Yes I was using the chain tool right, no one here gave any troubleshooting steps but did supply jackass ******ry, maybe I was a bit of a dumbass for not thinking of lubing the chain tool when I got it, and I used the word "jackass" 6 times in this post.
