LOL! I usually cut the old chain off with a Dremel and press the new pin in with channel locks. It works fine and I've never had a problem. Just make sure to check the whole chain for any binding after installing and reset the back wheel position to take up any slack per the manufacturer's recommendations - but I'm sure you know that part already.

Chain tools for motorcycles are nice but certainly not a mandatory investment. You can easily do the job without one.
