Quoted from balzofsteel:

I did some grinding on a cheapo bicycle chain breaker. It makes pushing the pin "just far enough" really easy.

Similar tools are available on amazon or ebay for under $5 including postage.

I remember helping my friend with a sys1 and going oh crap to the roll pin. Now I have 2 and this thread was a life saver. I order a cheap chain break to help! See how this does

I got the cheap bike chain tool off amazon and it didn't fit the flipper. I grinded out the space to try and fit the linkage and it was getting too thin.

I threw the link on my work bench vise and used a punch to slowly hammer it out most the way. The first flipper went perfect as planned, the 2nd I must of tapped a little too hard and popped the roll pin out, but was able to tap it back in. Well even this method worked better than I thought!
