How to mount SRAM snaplock? I am trying to join PC-1 SRAM chain, it has such snaplock:



And the problem is, the distance between holes is slightly less (IMHO) than distance between the pins. Every hole on its own fits any pin, but so far I am unable to put the golden part onto the pins, either one holes fit, or the other -- and I cannot make them both snap at the same time.

I have manual for this chain, but irony, it describes how to use silver power lock (asymmetric), not this one.

So, how to mount it? Should I use tools like pliers?
Put link into chain, hold chain on either side, use thumbs to hold snaplock over link. Gently pull chain using thumbs as fulcrums...this will put pressure on the pins forcing them just a tiny bit inward. Snaplock should slide over. (Think of it kind of like bending but not breaking a pencil...both hands on pencil (chain), thumbs next to each other, gentle pressure.
