Have you pushed the pin all of the way out?
Hopefully not. Hopefully you have it in on one of the out side plate.
If you have completely removed the pin I would use one of the links you have removed to replace the link you are working with, as long as you have an entire link without the pin completely removed.
Lets assume that bit is sorted.
You may be having trouble because you have a 1/8th chain and 3/32th chain tool. In this situation you will not beable to get the pin in because you will have to unscrew your chain tool too far and it will be in two bits.
My solution to this is a pair of plyers put the chain together as you want it. and squeese the pin in the first bit, it will go all of a sudden if lined up properly then use the chain tool to tweek the pin possion and free off any stiff links.
