Chain Adjustment

I always break that bolt lose with the chain on, other wise you need the special tool to hold the sprocket. It should have 20 ftlbs on it, which isn't much compared to some bikes have 100 ftlbs on them.

I would put the old chain back on to break lose, or new chain of course, you might need another master, or just go buy a cheap master link, just to mount the chain to break lose.

you really don't want a rivet link to do that, get a plain link ,,, then afterwards go back and install the rivet link on new chain

This might be an option, but you can get an electric impact gun from harbor freight for not much money. I use it for stuff like this all the time! Also makes taking wheels on and off a snap.
