The old Cat track pin press used 2 rods and a plate .
Power was the ram for the final drive press set, I think 70 ton.
It was assembled on the track without a hoist like the sprocket press.

Think about what you just said ,if you heat a link hot enough to drive a pin out when the link cools the hole will be smaller.
That's a fact I use this to shrink slightly oversize bores.
Most people heat a lick way too hot and they usually crack under heavy use and or the pin comes loose.
I own 2 pin presses a50 & a100 ton and I have been driving track pins for 50 + years.

This case would not work, the chain rail has a few 100 hours on hour meter so no slack in chain, thank you for the good comment it is a good Idea for some machine that has slack in chain rail.
