oops.
I removed my bike chain and cleaned it, now i can't put it back!
It's a "Z" chain, relatively new (about half a year old)...
I can't fit the pin back into the hole, any help?

Buy a SuperLink or SRAM removeable link. Then you won't have a problem next time either.

Don't bother, it takes forever and isn't worth trying to put the pin back in.
Just take off an extra link and on that one, be careful NOT to remove the pin all the way. Then throw away the extra link and rejoin the two halves of the chain.
