Breaking Ultegra HG 10 Chain
I need to replace my Ultegra HG 10 speed chain, and I've been trying to break one of the pins out for the past 10 minutes. Granted, I don't have the best breaking tool (some pocket piece from the 80's, was pretty good back then), but none of these pins want to pop out. I've been looking for this so called "Super Duper Reinforced Pin" that Shimano made sure to mention in their Dura-Ace chain pamphlet and I don't see any pins that look unusual. Am I doing something wrong?
I don't have any money to take it to an LBS, and my bank is closed today. I've got a group ride tomorrow morning.
Thanks

Most likely your tool sucks. Leave the old chain on for the ride.
