I chickened out bending the chain - I did it the old fashioned way and pushed a pin out so that it stayed in the outer plate, then pushed it back in to reconnect.
This is incorrect, and UNSAFE. Don't ****ing ride that chain. Shimano chains require a special replacement pin. You CANNOT do what you just did.
Don't ****ing ride that. The shimano techdoc manual that comes with the chain explains
precisely how to install the new version. You just ****ed yourself.
