Hi all,

I bought a new KMC chain to replace the same model on my bike. I need to remove 6 links to match the length of the old one. I have a good chain tool but I cannot get the pin on the 6th link to budge on the new chain. I've tried both sides of the same pin but it just will not move. I'm afraid of damaging the new chain if I really put some gorilla strength to the chain tool. Is there some trick to this I've missed with all my Googling?
