how can i tell if my did zj rivet master link is on all the way? i dont have a chain tool, so i used a c-clamp. the rivets are sticking out just barely, and when i look at it compared to the links around it, it looks almost totally in line with them. Is it good enough that the rivets are sticking out a little bit, or do they need to be way out? should i just check it often at first, or just give up and spend the money on a chain tool. i might just go buy a clip style master link because i do not want to find out i didnt put it on right by having my chain pop off when i'm riding. Obviously i am new to chain/sprocket stuff, but i want to learn how to do it myself instead of paying someone to do everything.

 

just buy the right tool, if that chain comes off its gonna cost way more than that tool. plus im sure youll end up needing it again
