I'd order up a chain breaker & riveting tool. I don't have any first hand experience with this one in particular, but it's got decent reviews on Amazon and costs under $30.

The cheap tools like this will work for the home mechanic. A lot of people complain about breaking them. From what I've read, you can extend the life of the tool by doing a few key things:

  • Lube the bolts on the tool with quality oil. Couple drops of your standard engine oil should do the trick. Many people complain about stripping or cracking the bolt.

  • Center the pin on the rivet when pressing rivets out. Many people complain about breaking or bending the pin when taking a chain apart.

  • Just be gentle and know it's a cheaper tool. Don't go gorilla on it.

I got this chain rivet tool/breaker, and it worked great to rivet the chain, but I would never trust it to break a fully riveted chain. You need an angle grinder to take the tops off the pins first. That said, if you've got the cash, go for the Motion Pro. Your friends will thank you.

As far as brakes are concerned, there are a lot of options, from Windex spray pump things to quick bleeders to vacuum hand pumps to air compressor vacuum pumps. Honestly, motorcycle brakes are pretty simple since you can reach the brake actuator and the bleeder screw together.

Yes, no need to go OEM on this, also get a rivet tool and save your self the cost and trouble of going to the shop. Something like this will remove links and dimple the rivet. Be sure to count the links in your old chain and check the manual to be sure you are using the right amount. A quick search shows the following: OEM Sprocket Sizes - 15T Front Sprocket / 39T Rear Sprocket OEM Chain - 525 Pitch / 104 Links.
