You see that star shaped thing at the base of the pin, that you broke, that is where you Unscrew it and screw in the replacement Pin.
good luck try to be more careful next time..
I still have a Cyclo and, other than the pin falling out if I am not careful, it works great. I have a Park mini too.
I have never broken a pin. It could only happen if it was not centered on the chain pin.
I wouldn't mind if the tool was able to crush the chain links themselves, but that's not how it is apparently.
I don't know what you mean here. Why would you want to crush the chain links?
