Is there a fancy dancy special tool made for this, or do you just beat on it? Got a broken cross bar that needs to come out.

I'm late to this post but if you are still on this project, why not just grind the rivets off the bent apron bar, knock the rivets out with a hammer, buy a length of angle iron, drill a couple of quarter inch holes and bolt them back to the links with 1/4 X 3/4 bolts. Then you don't have to fight taking the chain apart.

Don (Wic) has the answer. I use my "come along" and hook it to the bars on either side of the break, pull them together , giving me lots of slack so I can fold thr chain links over and pound it apart. Most machinery dealers carry chain and repair kinks, just take one of your links with you....Mike in Exeter Ontario

I looked around the 'net for suppliers of new ones, and didn't immediately find any.

There's a couple of used ones on ebay right now, one is in Canada. Item #'s 6279270654 and #280000156480.

I'm guessing you have the detatchable chain, not the "T" rod type. To separate the detatchable, you gotta fold it so the chain lines up with the gap in the rolled end and beat it apart, if yo don't have the tool for it use 2 hammers or a peice of rail road behind the chain to beat against. clear as mud?

yes, mine is the kind you fold back on itself. I guess I just wasn't expecting to have to beat on it that hard. I have enough slack to fold it back. I was thinking maybe there was some kind of a press tool made for this.

Thanks, guys
