Have you considered having a hysterectomy?

It's easier with the tool, but perfectly do-able without, if you're
careful. As someone else said, getting the side plates on against the
taper of the pins is the slightly tricky bit.

It's true, though. As one regular poster here has discovered. Again and
again.

Was it originally fitted with one?. If so, its up to you. Hell, it is your
bike.
Personally, while they work, I don't mind them as a last "OI!, FUCKWIT!"
measure. If it fails, it gets bridged out. I've never replaced one.

Not usually the centrestand, but the rear fork/swinging arm. Its no biggie
to drop the rear fork out, plus you get to inspect/clean/grease the
bearings so you -know- they are OK. You can also get up close and personal
inspecting it for rust and structural damage.
Slacken the front sprocket nut before you begin though.
If you get a chain with a rivet or split link, just follow the advice given
by others. You don't need the press tool. A hand vice and a couple of small
sockets will suffice. Do -=NOT=- 'over press' it on though!. The last few
chains I've done have had a small, barely visible line to press to. This
just nips up to the O rings. I do own a proper press tool nowadays as I
always get roped in to doing other folks bikes.

Oh yes. Oh yes, indeed. Forgot that. Excellent advice. More than once,
I've had to put a dead chain back on in order to allow me to loosen
the gearbox sprocket.

I bought a decent tool recently (cost something like £50) and it does
make the job much easier.

Ain't that the truth.
