compress the spring where you are adding the chain. leave the spring clamp on the spring or replace with a u-bolt, your choice. remove the nut, if you are afraid of marking the nut wrap jaws with tape. remove nut place chain on the spring an reverse the operation. Lubrication is your friend. pick65

Thanks IVM...excellent insight.... Ditto. The chain on the trap may very well be the original chain beaten out of shape. I bought a vintage chain that is a match for the #15 just to bring it back to its former glory. I'm going to give it a try.

If all that is wrong with the chain is the ring is mishapen I would have left the trap all original not changed nothing and just paid a black smith to reshape the ring, cheaper than buying a chain and changing it out imo.
