| When you push the pin in it will compress the chain as you have
seen.
Flip the chain over and push on the pin as if you where removing
it again, but push just a little bit.
Then take it out and with your hands flex it back and forth.
You may have to repeat that second step again if you still have
problems.

| I imagine most of us have had to deal with this before.
Just the other day I was thinking ( 8-)> ) "Maybe I
ought to by one of those little chain cleaning
devices."
Most of the time I have fairly good luck reconnecting
the chain links.
As 1264.1 said, you may have to move the pin back and forth
a couple of times.

| I thought that you were supposed to use the middle teeth.
I back the chain tool all the way back and then put the
chain in so that the teeth of the chain tool body are pressing
on the inside face of the plates nearest the screw. Just push a
little on the pin with the driver, and the link will be loosened up.

| Most chain tools have two slots that hold the chain in place, one
on the outside and one set on the inside. The outside set is for
driving the pin through. After going as far as you need, move the
chain to the inner slot and tighten the pin slightly. You will
see the chain "spread" apart.
