Use the proper chain assembly tool for these type of chains whever possible and forget about the hammer & punch type assembly......waaay too dangerous if a lad doesn't know what he's at, he'll cause a tight spot or worse still a link failure on the chain while on his bike...who's fault is it then???...the fella that went with a hammer on his bike....or the fella that gave advice to do so...

Hammering of any form on the chain will induce spike loading on the chain & the area where it is applied (check out the numpty in the video above....yeah real clever, hammering in and around the sprocket carrier, real good for the bearing & the surrounding casting, thinks much of his bike doesn't he....
